REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Collect Rain WaterTrace the water that flows down the drain from your house to the largest body of water nearby. What is the route it takes?
Angela Ward 10/03/2018 11:45 AMI live in an apartment, so the drain system is pretty complicated. It usually gathers in a large puddle right outside our backyard fence areas. I'd like to create a rain barrel system to gather it there instead. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Spend Time OutsideRachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
Angela Ward 10/03/2018 11:41 AMWhen I reach the viewpoint of a mountaintop after hiking there, my breath is literally taken away. I feel connected to the earth and want to see more of it. When we box ourselves in 4 walls, we don't get to experience that feeling. It leads to a feeling of limitedness, instead of limitlessness.
