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.

Flossie Erben 4/30/2020 12:40 PMAs I reflect back on this month and challenge, I realized that this was a good way to find small, daily changes that could make a real difference. I also was able to get some letters written to politicians, pull my kids into helping and I really enjoyed the sharing. I wish I would've signed up earlier than half way through the month.
Thanks Teresa & Krista!-
Teresa Broadus 4/30/2020 1:06 PMVery cool, Flossie -- I agree, we should've gotten started earlier! Next year!

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.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONWildlife Seek Alternative Gifts and SouvenirsHow do your consumption choices affect the health of wildlife and other communities?
Teresa Broadus 4/28/2020 8:49 AMI can think of making sure I take reusable water bottles on my hikes instead of using plastic bottled water. If I do occasionally use plastic water bottles I will recycle them as they do not compost in the short term. -
