REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Less Screen Time

What did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?

Hannah Stoner 4/21/2021 4:41 PM

I thought this challenge would have been hard at first because so much of our lives now are filled with screens, but I surprisingly found it easy to find other things to do. I decided to spend some time reading, solving an old word search book, doing some chores, and playing some board games. I think that sometimes we forget about other activities because we get lost in our screens and it is really nice to give our eyes a break.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Practice Gratitude for Earth

Kathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How can we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?

Hannah Stoner 4/21/2021 4:38 PM

I do agree with Moore's statement. I think that as individuals it is our natural instinct to feel thankful when something nice is done for us or we are provided with something. There are definitely times where things might get taken for granted though, or we might not realize how much something really means to us.

Hannah Stoner 4/07/2021 10:46 AM

When walking instead of driving, you are able to take things in a lot slower and more easily experience the world around you. By going on walks, I have been able to notice things about my neighborhood that I had never realized were there before.
