April 24 at 10:20 AMI went on walks at Heritage State Park, which is enjoyable because it's near the water. The only thing I didn't enjoy was that there was an area under construction.

April 23 at 7:57 AMBefore purchasing an item, think about how the item affects or has affected the environment. For example, when you buy a shirt, you might want to consider the company and how they care for the environment.
