REFLECTION QUESTIONLand SinksHow can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place -- your deep knowledge of and appreciation for your surroundings?
Janet Beach Davis 7/13/2025 7:09 PM- TEAM CAPTAIN
You get to really experience a place when you walk through it, especially when you walk slowly. You see so much during a nice amble. And without a time frame you can spend time in the timeless woods. Go until you feel relaxed and refreshed and ready to people again. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustryHow could you incorporate other "Rs" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "Rs" make you feel?
Janet Beach Davis 7/13/2025 7:06 PM- TEAM CAPTAIN
Recycling is just second nature for me. I tend to reuse and repurpose whatever comes in and recycle when I’m finally done with it. Especially jars. I love a good jar! -
