    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 am absolutely going to be far more conscious of the types of sunscreens I use, and the amount of plastic products that aren't recycled.

    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?

      Ops! just realized it wasn't an open-ended feedback question. 
            I have been actually taking these walks with my horse, so that definitely helped my spiritual development and relationship with him! I feel like the more time you spend outdoors the more you see the natural world. It is so easy to overlook in our otherwise busy lives. The more you see, the more you appreciate, and the more you care...and I feel like because of this you want to ensure the health and wellbeing of the natural world.

      Ohh Thank you so much for the kind reply!! What a pleasant surprise! <3 Haha I think walking with him, I've learned (better put - he has trained me) to develop a keen eye for finding good patches of fresh spring grass. He's so good at it! I am not sure I will ever be able to confidently identify or forage for different types of mushrooms or plants for human consumption, but grass for horses? I've got this. Hey, you have to start somewhere, right? ;)
