REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Join An Outdoor ProjectHow well do you know the area you live in? In what ways is a deep knowledge of your surroundings -- known as a 'sense of place' -- important to you?
Melanie Joy Clarke 10/28/2020 10:32 AMFlorida chapter of PFS hosted a CleanUp Scavenger Hunt on Oct 24&25. Some great participation across and outside of the state. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Do Nature ActivitiesWhat did you observe while spending time outside -- through sight, sound, smell and/or touch?
Melanie Joy Clarke 10/28/2020 10:30 AMBeing outside is so recharging. Thank goodness the weather here in Orlando is cooling a little to make it easier to be outside for longer periods of time. Plenty of walks with the dog! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Learn About & Practice Sustainable FashionHow can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?
Melanie Joy Clarke 10/13/2020 10:14 AMThere's so much I didn't know about not just about the materials harvested for clothing, but also the waste by-product from manufacturing the finished clothing and shipping to retail etc. I happen to love retro style so it is fairly easy for me to enjoy already used clothing options. We really need to unlock the potential of hemp! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Less Screen TimeWhat did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?
Melanie Joy Clarke 10/12/2020 10:16 AMSkipping the TV news in the morning for a radio recap instead -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Melanie Joy Clarke 10/12/2020 10:15 AMAvocado toast for breakfast and split pea soup (no ham) with truffle oil for lunch. Can't seem to get the vegan thing in, but this meatless bit is easier than I thought. -
Melanie Joy Clarke 10/08/2020 7:12 AMMeatless once a day... I think lentils are my new jam! 😁 -
Melanie Joy Clarke 10/07/2020 7:32 AMHERE WE GO! Day 1 and off to a good start. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Melanie Joy Clarke 10/07/2020 6:00 AMAtlas dog loves to be included in anything, but especially loves adventures. I'll be taking more nature walks and trying out new parks with him during (and after) this challenge. -
Melanie Joy Clarke 10/06/2020 11:09 AMHad a great conversation with the chapters of PFS today. Excited to see so many participating in this EcoChallenge. -
