I agree with what Father Thomas Berry because once in a while, we need to enjoy the sunset and sunrise to just feel in peace and relaxed.

REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Enjoy the Sunrise/SunsetFather 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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?
Anna Ellis 10/18/2018 12:30 PMIf I found myself in needing a bag for items and don't have a reuseable bag with me, I'd just put all the groceries in the cart and just grab my reuseable bag in the car and put the groceries inside. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Turn it offHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
