REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Core Values

What are your top 3-5 core values? How did you narrow it down to those as being your core values?

Evan Winchell (cho 901) 10/06/2023 7:28 PM

I value honesty, dedication and especially kindness. I narrowed these down because honesty is something that I feel like should not be asked for but should be expected among people I hang out with since I feel like needing to lie and deceive is just horrible (unless under certain circumstances). Dedication is something I always valued in my life, and kindness is something that just helps to keep the world a happy and joyful place.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Track my Purchases

What have you noticed about your purchases? Where are you inclined to make shifts, if any?

Evan Winchell (cho 901) 10/06/2023 6:00 PM

My purchases are mostly just food and essentials, I am inclined to make a shift to buying a few things that I do not need but I want, like maybe some snacks that I do not need but they will make me happier. Overall though I do not believe I will be making many shifts.

Nature Go for a Daily Walk

How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

Evan Winchell (cho 901) 10/05/2023 11:09 AM

Everything seems more peaceful and also feels like everything is more connected. It made me feel very calm whereas when I drive everything feels far more chaotic and fast paced.

Water 5-Minute Showers

Name some of the human activities impacting the health of water systems, both locally (your watershed) and globally (freshwater and oceans). What can you do to improve the health of water systems?

Evan Winchell (cho 901) 10/04/2023 7:41 PM

Pollution, climate change and urban waste all cause harm to our water system. One thing to do to try to help improve the health of the water systems is to try to have less pollution of harmful substances by reducing the amount they go down the drain.
