    Yes, when I walk I encounter more friendly faces than when I drive.

    I am noticing that I am throwing much less food away, and am giving a lot more back to the earth. When my compost is ready I will use it to nurture my garden. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Building Resilience Spend Time Outside
    Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

    The implications of a culture that spends most of their time indoors is that they aren't very connected to the nature around them, and aren't very aware of their surroundings.

    It empowers me to check the food itself before throwing away, not just the label on the packaging.
