Rob Sieczkiewicz 10/21/2019 6:46 AMI've been seeing a lot of stories arguing for an international carbon tax after the recent IMF recommendation on this. This article from The Guardian offers an interesting counter-argument: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/oct/12/carbon-tax-imf-inequality-climate-change -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Go for a Daily WalkHow do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?
Rob Sieczkiewicz 10/21/2019 3:51 AMDuring the challenge I've been more aware of the changing seasons when I walk than when I drive. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Needs Vs. WantsHow is creativity necessary for practicing simplicity?
Rob Sieczkiewicz 10/15/2019 9:56 AMIt's easy to just default to buying something from Amazon. Sometimes you have to be creative to figure out a way to find something locally. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Rob Sieczkiewicz 10/12/2019 4:27 AMI have no idea why eating meat is an international symbol of wealth. American movies and TV? Anyway, there seems to be lots of evidence that there would be enough food for everyone in the world if we all are mostly plant-based diets. -
