REFLECTION QUESTIONForests Plant TreesHow is planting trees good for your mental, physical, and spiritual health?
Burlton Sober 4/14/2020 6:48 AMPlanting trees is good for working on your arms along with strength if you need to use a pickaxe to break up the dirt. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONPeople Connect While Social DistancingHow does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?
Burlton Sober 4/14/2020 6:27 AMI enjoy talking to my friends especially ones that don't live close by as I can go on bike rides with them. It can help support others as they will have someone to talk too while this stressful time is still going on. -

Burlton Sober 4/14/2020 6:24 AMI have recently been biking between my parent's houses and its really fun because I can get exercise and enjoy the community. I love to bike as I've been biking since I was 4. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Burlton Sober 4/14/2020 6:23 AMThis doesn't surprise me as I know my dad loves to make some pretty gourmet meals for my family when he can. I would rather put this money towards something long term like college savings or redesigning a house. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh Water Conserve Toilet WaterWhat would a sustainable water future in your region look like? What needs to change?
Burlton Sober 4/01/2020 8:01 AMA lot of water is needed in the region as some people use a lot of unnecessary water. we all need to stop flushing the toilet unless we actually need to. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONForests Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Burlton Sober 4/01/2020 7:52 AMThere isn't really anything stopping me from doing this as that is the only kind of coffee cup in my house. I love reusing things in my life as it not only reduces the number of chores I have to do it allows the ecosystem to fix itself slowly
