  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    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?

    I think our current health system would save money based on our food.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity
    Fresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?

    I love when I am able to take a walk every day, it really helps me clear my mind and make me a lot happier.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    What is your perception of organic food? After cooking with and eating organic food, has your perception changed?

    I have commited to making sure my breakfast is fully organic, I have organic eggs, and fruit, and organic parm cheese. it is simple but is good to know this is one thing I can control.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    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?

    I think this is a great quote, we should celebrate eveything in our life. I do blieve our purpose is to celebrate evything!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation
    Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Does this statistic describe your own transportation habits? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?

    I do not own a car so this statistic doesn't really apply to me, i hope to live somewhere in the future where I can walk to more things!

    Living in a dorm without any heating or cooling is suprisingly not bad!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health
    Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What changes did you make to improve your sleep, and how did they affect your day?

    I would always love to get more sleep, which is something ive been working on. I try to get ready for bed sooner so that I can actually go to bed at the right time.
