REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Forage for My FoodPeople are motivated to forage for many different reasons: as a source for food, a means of income, to connect with nature, to participate in cultural tradition, transmitting specific ecological knowledge, or as a means of stewarding local and native plant populations. What is your chief motivation for foraging?

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity De-Clutter My HomeHow can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?
Sarah Wright 10/10/2019 6:48 AMWhen I'm tempted at the store to buy something, I say to myself, "Will that end up in a rummage sale or going to a thrift store one day in the next few years?" It almost always makes me not buy it! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?
Sarah Wright 10/07/2019 8:20 AMI have accepted a disposable one in this scenario. I should put some in the back of my car and keep them there to avoid this situation in the future.
