Lanah Oliveira 10/18/2018 4:05 AMIt is going really well. I took a 5 minute shower this morning and it went really well! I still need to talk to my mom and dad about making a herb garden because, we really don’t have a lot of room in our backyard/front so we’re going to have to compromise. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth More Fruits and VeggiesWhat do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How can we start shifting from a meat-focused food culture to a more plant-based one?
Lanah Oliveira 10/18/2018 4:04 AMWe can by leaving animals alone and not being rude to them because, why would you want to be killed jsut for humans to eat you?! I’m not saying we need to stop I’m just saying we need to stop eating it for everysingle dinner! We can eat so much other thing with out any types of meat! So we can try to eat more veggies and fruits!! -
Lanah Oliveira 10/15/2018 1:57 PMI think it's going well. I haven't started one thing which is a pretty hard task to do! But, I know I could try to do it!! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Plant an Herb GardenConsider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?
Lanah Oliveira 10/15/2018 1:53 PMI think a plot of land would work better because, it will get the love and affection it needs to get by living outside. It needs water/rain, air and sunlight. I think that one day I could possibly forget to water a plant and the rain will come and to it for me! -
Lanah Oliveira 10/11/2018 2:00 PMMy challenge is going really well, sometimes I forget but I'm trying my best! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Needs Vs. WantsHow is creativity necessary for practicing simplicity?
Lanah Oliveira 10/11/2018 2:00 PMWell, when you want something you just want it. There is no typical reason why, you just saw it on T.V and said, "Oh that would be helpful for me", and then a week later you don't use it. On the other hand needs are what you really NEED! Like underwear or bras or even razors! There is also people out there i the world that don't even have anything they NEED, which is sad because we want everything in the world. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWater 5-Minute ShowersFive minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?
Lanah Oliveira 10/11/2018 1:56 PMMaybe using less shampoo because, I notice in my house the bottles that we have are expensive and we use a lot of shampoo which is the maine product to actually clean your hair. When I look at the conditioner there is literally still a whole bottle, so I need to stop drowning my head in shampoo and use less! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Go for a Daily WalkHow do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?
Lanah Oliveira 10/11/2018 1:53 PMWhen you are walking you are getting exercise, but when your driving your sitting down comfortably and not working out in any ways.
