REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Go for a Daily Walk

How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

You see more around you, you hear the birds, you see the light coming through the trees, you see the rabbits that move across your path. You feel more apart of it, you and the environment are moving at the same pace, and it makes you feel more connected to it.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Buy From a Farmers Market

What is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?
