REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Watch a Documentary about Food SovereigntyHow does food sovereignty address the complex agrarian transition to modern food systems?
Debbie Tuckness 10/16/2020 10:50 AMIt gives local communities more access to healthy sustainable food vs having o rely on having food shipped in thousands of miles from other areas of the world. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Use Muscle PowerHow do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?
Debbie Tuckness 10/16/2020 10:38 AMWhen driving it's easy to be outside the community. Walking and riding your bike, you have more opportunities to chat with neighbors, etc. We don't have transit that I can use, but when in big cities you can engage with the community. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Spend Time OutsideRachel 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?
Debbie Tuckness 10/16/2020 10:30 AMThose that spend most of their time indoors, typically get less fresh air and exercise. Nature helps relieve stress and ground a person. So, I feel those that get outside are more healthy. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Support A Sharing EconomyWhat are the benefits of a sharing economy? How could a sharing economy change the dynamics you have with friends, family and/or neighbors?

I can think of ride sharing, where people use less wear and tear on cars, gas, parking, etc. But, it can extend to tools and parks and pools, etc.
The benefits are you are using less resources, but also it allows for more community.

Debbie Tuckness 4/30/2020 7:16 AMThis challenge has been a good way to think about ways to conserve and protect the Earth. I was invited half-way through the challenge, but something is better than nothing. -
Debbie Tuckness 4/29/2020 6:45 PMMost of this challenge I've been focused on reducing and recycling. But, with this Corona Virus, I've been thinking my grandma who lived through the great depression wasn't as crazy as I thought. She saved everything that was re-usable. I've started saving all glass jars, you know from spaghetti sauces etc. and I used 3 of them as vases fir Lilacs and give them to people I wanted to bless.-

Debbie Tuckness 4/24/2020 7:31 AMWhen you get your next shoes, buy Rothys shoes that are made from recycled bottles. -
Debbie Tuckness 4/21/2020 9:13 AMDoes anyone else utilize the orange hefty bags to recycle the plastics 3-7 for creating petroleum in Utah? We have started it after my daughter brought our attention to it and it's a pretty easy way to reduce junk in the landfill.
