    I wish snow was delayed a little while longer so I can enjoy the outside without freezing

    Ecochallenge has forced me to get outside again. Although the weather has not been friendly, I was still able to get out to nature for a short while

    I am enjoying the great outdoors again.  It's getting colder and I'm trying to think of ways to still appreciate the time outside.

    Community Engage In Active Listening
    What was it like to actively listen to someone? How did both people and the conversation(s) benefit from active listening?

    I was able to clearly understand the ask.  Although the other person was surprised by my quiet they thought they lost connection
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Go for a Daily Walk
    How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

    Heather Klayman 10/13/2020 4:56 PM
    When I travel, we don't rent cars because it allows us to experience the city or region first hand.  Interacting with local people and tasting regional foods.  I would rather walk a new city than drive it. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature 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?

    Covid indoors has shown me a great appreciation for the outdoors.  I have recently starting walking outside more and enjoying the fresh air in my local neighborhood. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Whole Foods Diet
    Michael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this assertion?

    If we are eating right we would not need to visit the Doctor.  We would be healthy to enjoy life. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    It does not surprise me.  I would rather spend the money on a vacation trip enjoying this beautiful world
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
    Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?
