  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Women and Girls Support Women-Owned Businesses
    Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. How can you better support communities by supporting women? Can you share any past experiences that may help others take action?

    I didn't realize coffee lead to deforestation so know I make an effort to purchase shade-grown, bird friendly coffee.

    Planting trees in my yard provides immeasurable benefits to my mental, physical and spiritual health.  Simply observing the flowering and growth year to year as well as the wildlife that use this resource is relaxing and elicits a smile.  Powerful attitude adjuster.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transport Use Public Transit
    How has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?

    Anna Kopitov 4/24/2019 8:35 AM
    In addition to reducing my environmental impact to the planet, access to public transportation to commute to work has greatly reduced my stress level.  I think that in turn further reduces my energy consumption indirectly.  For example, my diet is healthier and I exercise more.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Spent the weekend in riverside parks and noticed the pathways created through various habitats as well as the interpretive signs.  This particular park also had overnight camping in the form of yurts which was a peaceful addition to the forest understory as it blended very well.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    In your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?

    Anna Kopitov's avatar
    Anna Kopitov 4/23/2019 8:22 AM
    I think the cattle and other livestock lobbies certainly contribute to people eating more meat than other countries - as well as marketing popularity of fast food.
