  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water 5-Minute Showers
    Five minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?

    The next step you can take is reducing showering with hot water, lukewarm water is better for your skin and hair anyway. Another next step could be to focus on reducing my energy consumption (e.g. switching off the light if not needed, turning of my laptop during the night, etc.)
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health Exercise Daily
    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    Looking for a team activity, combining an outdoor activity together with meeting friends (e.g. hiking with friends) or change up your gym routine with doing sports outside once a week.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Spend Time Outside
    Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

    Yes that sounds right to me. - I think a culture who spends most of the time indoors, is less happy, balanced and satisfied. Nature not only calms people's mind but also gives the brain fresh air and connects the human to the environment which comes along with a positive mood.
