    How does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet? What fruits or vegetables did you try this week, and which was your favorite?

    I believe eating more fruits and vegetables helps the environment because you can give back, by compost. While, eating meat requires labor and endangering a species. I had pineapple, olives, roasted broccoli. The pineapple was my favorite.

    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 like to improve how early I sleep and my wake up time. I began to power off my stuff an hour before I slept, doing bracelet making in the meantime to stimulate me. It made me relaxed the next day, and happy to continue that day.

    Exercising is a way for me to let go of stress, it helps me mentally and physically. I enjoy working out my arms in the gym because I get to talk to people and workout.

    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?

    My response to Berry's assertion is to enjoy the moments we have, relaxing and putting in work to better ourselves and our community. That is our peace.

    I believe we can reuse stuff, and only buy things knowing it fits into our space, not having overconsumption.

    Everyone was very nice, they would often ask if I wanted help or tell me to be safe. I found it unusual how much the environmental community really supports each other.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation
    Take a moment to think of places you frequent often (work, grocery store, school, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?

    Yes, going to work I could share a ride with my roommate since we both start work at the same time.

    Electricity is generated through a company, it impacts the amount of energy being used. Which can add onto more environmental issues.

    I turn off the water when I brush my teeth, try to use low Flow stuff, and recycle.

      I can turn off the lights when I leave my dorm, not have running water for brushing teeth, and not leave the fan on in the bathroom.
