REFLECTION QUESTION
Wildlife Support Pollinators

Why is it important to take care of pollinators?

Elizabeth Sieburg 4/30/2020 11:31 AM

Pollinators are like the base of life in a way. Without them, most plants wouldn't be able to reproduce and live, and with most the vegetation gone, herbivores won't have much to eat, so they will die off, and then omnivores and carnivores will starve too. PROTECT POLLINATORS.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Action Track: Building Resilience Connect While Social Distancing

How does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?

Elizabeth Sieburg 4/16/2020 9:34 AM

As an introvert, connecting with other people is not as necessary as it might be for extroverts, but it is very grounding to have conversations with people outside of your household and allows social diversity.
