    Nature
    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?

    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

    I think you should probably bring a reusable bag next time, but just use your hands, or in something that does not involve plastic.

    Food
    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?

    Dylan Jones 10/15/2020 9:19 AM
    I think our planet should stop eating so much meat. I think we should stop eating so much meat because we are killing our animals to eat meat!!!!
