Reflection QuestionAction Track: Healing & Renewal Go for a Daily WalkWhat have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?
Humpback whale Juli 2/04/2021 5:38 PMI walked with my family today. It was very nice and i really enjoyed because the weather was really good. I have noticed the beautiful trees that are in my neighborhood. I could make them shorter so maybe instead of walking all around my neighborhood i could just walk a little bit of it. This makes it more possible to even do it more than once a day. 🚶♀️ -
Reflection QuestionAction Track: Healing & Renewal More Fruits And VeggiesHow does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?
Humpback whale Juli 1/29/2021 3:23 PMI feel like eating more fruits and vegetables results in a healthier lifestyle, not only for myself but i can encourage others to do it as well. This helps the environment because if you eat less meat then less deforestation will happen because farmers wont need as much land for cattle.
