    I choose to do two one time challenges and the rest are daily challenges. I choose exercise because that’s also important, I also choose eat meals with organic food because having organic food in your daily meals is very important

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Choose Organic Ingredients
    Can organic farming feed the world? Which side of the argument do you fall on? Why?

    Claire Druker 10/03/2018 5:40 PM
    I think organic farming is important, but we don’t have enough. People aren’t use to having a ton of organic farms. In time, everyone will understand the importance of organic farms, and having organic meals.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health Exercise Daily
    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    You can walk, hike, & run outside in nature with friends which incorporates all of the above. Exercising is important, and doing it with friends is a fun way of doing
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
    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." Respond to Berry's assertion.

    I think that what Berry is saying is that looking at the sunrise or sunset is something that’s important. People can connect more to our world with little things like looking at sunrise/sunset.

      I agree with your assessment of this quote for sure. To add to that, I think he's saying we can connect to our world in a ritualistic way since the sunrise and sunset occur everyday. In that way, it gives us a consistent access point to connect with the earth and its cycles.

    People might not help each other because of others being different 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

    If people stop eating meat as much meat, maybe animals won’t be killed as much.

    I go to my doctor to get my flu shot, and to test my cholesterol.

      We can do Health Checkups regularly at least every 6 months and keep cholesterol in control as well as check for Vitamins, Iron etc are sufficient.
