REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?
Nick Wildasin 10/13/2023 5:23 AMIt is just more convenient to use plastic bottles, but I could remind myself that reusable bottles are cheaper in the long term. -
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?
Nick Wildasin 10/13/2023 5:22 AMI was happier when I was not using a screen. It was a little difficult to decide to go on a bike ride rather than look at a screen. The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Spend Time OutsideRachel 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?
Nick Wildasin 10/13/2023 5:19 AMI agree. A culture which spends most of its time indoors tends to have higher rates of depression and anxiety. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth More Fruits and VeggiesHow does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?
Nick Wildasin 10/13/2023 5:17 AMMeats require more water to produce than vegetables do, so I am saving water by eating vegetables. -
