  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature
    Are you a gardener or house plant lover? Why or why not? What do you need to elevate your plant care skills?

    I am a garden lover! House plants are a cool idea too, i might have to start using them. But nothing feels better than growing from the earth and providing for the family.
  • 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?

    It helps me calm down a little and find my breath. It's rare we get time to just exist these days.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    What did you observe while spending time outside -- through sight, sound, smell and/or touch?

    I love surfing while spending my time outside. Beautiful views mixed with a good workout is the best. I am activating all 5 senses while surfing
  • 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?

    Ted Mucciarone 10/16/2025 2:58 PM
    No way! I walk as much as I can, I would say driving accounts for 50% of my transportation.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water
    Do you know where your campus or community gets its water? If not, how could you find out?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I use plastics bags, i need to use paper bags instead or buy a nice one that isnt one time use
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    What is your perception of organic food? After cooking with and eating organic food, has your perception changed?

    Has to be unprocessed and unfiltered. I dont want pesticides or some crazy cancer causing materials in my food
