    I really enjoyed my time without any devices. I went for a hike and enjoyed the nice cool day and admired nature. No, it was not hard to do this, I like getting off of devices and clearing my mind. I hiked over at Mulberry Overlook, a little muddy but definitely worth it, and I had a nice time.

    I workout, I enjoy nature and allow my brain to take a break, I do facemasks and fun things to relax, listen to music that makes me happy, enjoy my favorite foods, hang out with friends that are positiv and recharge my battery, I try to love myself even on days when I am feeling low, I try to do a lot of self care, those are just a few of the...

    I agree completely, very rarely do I feel as connected to the earth then when Im watching the sunset.

    Not only changing the thermostat helps conserve electricity usage, but also unplugging appliances, turning off lights, shorter showers, opening windows for light, etc. All of those things can be very helpful.

    I already reduce plastic waste by using a reusable water bottle. I reuse by buying second-hand clothes and thrifting instead of always buying new things. I recycle recyclable items in my household and separate them from the trash. I repair by sewing my clothes when they get a snag or tear. I repurpose items when I know they will come in handy...

    It's easy to get caught up by all the negative things going on in the world, so it's important to take time out of our day to recognize positive things and count our blessings. Especially durng election week, it's been stressful and there has been so much hate all over social media. It's sad to see how politics can so easily tear people apart...

    It's important to vote on important matters and to let our voices be heard. We all have the ability to make a large decision as a community, so it's important we all use our privilege of voting. Our votes can have a huge impact on so many areas of our environment, economy, and society. Ways to actively participate are by voting, participating...

    We need to educate about and supply water filtration systems. Filtering water reduces plastic waste from bottles and allows people to reuse jugs, reusable bottles, glass containers, etc. Maybe instead of supplying large quantities of water bottles, we can provide those big five-gallon water jugs to people's homes. Then, when they need water,...

    Microplastics from the production of plastics get into our water and food and eventually get into our bodies, which is extremely harmful. It also pollutes the ocean and harms marine life. This is on a global scale. To prevent this, it's important to use reusable products instead of single-use.

    Before going to the grocery store/general store, I should make a note of what I already have and make a list before leaving. It's easy to forget what we already have at home; this will prevent me from buying more than what I need. Also, setting a budget can be helpful, it prevents me from overspending and buying unnecessary things I may not...
