  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Oceans Learn about Our Oceans
    What is one way in which oceans support your life on Earth? What is one way you can help take care of ocean health with your actions?

    I feel Plastic use and Oil spills are the biggest contributions to suffocating ocean health. Reducing both could have tremendous effects on improving life underwater.

    People Connect While Social Distancing
    How does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?

    I feel relaxed when I have a casual talk with loved ones after a long day!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    People 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?

    This reminds me of a TV show I watched on "Hikikomori".

    Feels great! I was a part of the Buffalo Bayou Regatta this year and enjoyed the event.

    Beyond what does or doesn't come out of the tap at home, how do your choices affect freshwater locally and globally?

    I try to use more of organic produce which do not use chemical fertilizers for growth, thus reducing the pollution of soil and the water table underneath. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Forests Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe 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?

    I have always used a reusable cup/mug instead of single use coffee/tea cup whenever possible. It makes me feel more responsible and gives a sense of satisfaction for having contributed few lesser plastic cups into landfill!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    Rashmi Vijendra Prasad's avatar
    Rashmi Vijendra Prasad 4/29/2020 3:50 PM
    Richer countries eat more meat may be due to affordability and also availability. Shifting to more plant-based foods can help combating climate change, soil, air and water pollution, ocean dead zones etc.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Climate Choose LED Bulbs
    Changing lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! In what other ways can you exercise your civic duty to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions?

    Once can use public transport to workplace and carpool whenever possible. Also, get the vehicle's emission tests done regularly. Another major contribution could be switching of off the lights when not being used.
