REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Explore My Area

How can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place?

Wakaha Sampei 10/24/2018 3:38 PM

For me spending time outdoors includes exploring the parts of Boise that go beyond the city limits and the human-made aspects of life. Being outside in nature roots me deeper within my sense of home and belonging in Idaho.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Needs Vs. Wants

How is creativity necessary for practicing simplicity?

Wakaha Sampei 10/03/2018 8:16 AM

Creativity helps us to find solutions to problems we might previously had not thought of before. I think that sometimes we are conditioned to believe that we need to buy something new or ask someone to fix something for us, when we could potentially find ways to solve the problem on our own.
