REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Practice Gratitude for Earth

Kathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How do we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?

Rich David 10/20/2019 8:35 AM

I completely agree. We begin cultivating a sense of gratitude just like we begin cultivating a garden...with a desire to make something grow. By getting our hands dirty and planting a tiny seed.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Go for a Daily Walk

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

Rich David 10/20/2019 8:29 AM

For starters, it seems that more people driving today are looking at their phone then paying attention to the actual task of driving. The percentage of people I witnessed while walking of drivers holding their phone in their hand is extraordinarily high.

Energy Turn it off

How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

In Charlotte, NC which is where I live, Duke Energy is the company that runs our electricity. They operate a system of generating plants fueled by oil or natural gas to supplement the power supply during peak times.
