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?

Donovan Petrey 4/13/2020 9:04 AM

the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors is that you miss the beauty of the natural world. the world truly is a magical place and nature is the ultimate healer in my opinion. the rates for depression and other mental disorders are going to sky rocket if people are not going to ditch the screens and move to a more outdoor lifestyle

REFLECTION QUESTION
Fresh Water Use a Reusable Water Bottle

Using the links provided, investigate the bottling practices of water corporations. There have been many cases where the water rights of the local people have been violated or even completely disregarded when a corporation decides to bottle water from a particular water source. How can you advocate for those who have been harmed - both humans and wildlife - by this bottling process?

Donovan Petrey 4/13/2020 9:00 AM

i can advocate for this by writing a letter or calling a congressman that is in charge of the area that i live in and voicing my poinion with facts that show that everyone is affected when this happens

So far i have been trying to spend more time each day out side. over the past week i have been able to achieve this goal. everyday i wake up and make a coffee and instead of drinking it inside in front of the tv i walk outside and drink it in the fresh air. another activity that i am trying to do mostly everyday is walk around my block daily. this route that i take is 4.5 miles and takes me anywhere from an hour to 2 hours depending on if i walk or run some of it. overall i believe that this is helping me deal with being stuck inside and at my house during this time
