How can we become more proactive in getting all locations across state to have water bottle filling stations. I have come across the conundrum of many places not offering this. They are quick to put a vending machine in which has water bottles for sale. Increasing plastic and pocketing money, but why not spark a change?

Waste Personal Waste Audit

Why is it so difficult to understand the impacts our purchases and waste have on other people, animals, and places? How might your experience with this challenge impact your future consumption and choices?

Sean Farmer 10/22/2018 4:34 PM

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Limit Social Media

Social media is a great way to keep us connected with loved ones, makes us laugh, and helps us to learn new things. It can also take more time than we realize or intend to give. After doing this action for a few days now, how do you feel? What do you notice?

Sean Farmer 10/22/2018 9:25 AM

I find myself using social media when I am bored so I have attempted to refocus myself into doing more proactive things in my spare time like reading or watching the news.

Michael Pollan states that "it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor." What are your thoughts on this?

Sean Farmer 10/22/2018 9:24 AM

This statement I find incredibly important, the United States spends the most money per pupil on healthcare, so spending extra money on healthy foods is well worth it. It saves money down the road.

How do you practice self care?

Sean Farmer 10/22/2018 9:23 AM

Simplicity Needs Vs. Wants

How is creativity necessary for practicing simplicity?

Sean Farmer 10/22/2018 9:21 AM

Creativity is necessary because one must learn to repurpose items. Just because something is damaged or "broken" it can still be used for many other purposes.
