    Even with traveling today, I was able to make good decisions at lunch and build in time for meeting my commitments!

    It's so much easier to achieve daily goals on a weekend, but it's also easier to feel the differences as well. I wish every day could be on a weekend.

    I'm amazed at how easily these behaviors have become a normal part of my routine.

    I love being reminded of these actions and how easily they have become new habits for me.

    Meeting with my students reminds me of the necessity of participating in this challenge. We ALL have the opportunity and obligation to become aware of our actions and then to try and minimize their volume, frequency or existence altogether. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Advocate for More Food Options
    Given the impact of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers on both the natural world and our food systems, what do you think about the use of these products in agriculture?

    There are clearly some value in being able to use a very limited amount of each of these items. There are also many natural solutions available as well, which may not work for large agriculture, but certainly could be adopted by local growers.
