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?

Angela M. 10/23/2019 7:39 AM

I think it rings very true for me because I love being outdoors and exploring both city and rural areas. It's a very different experience spending a lot of time indoors compared to getting out into the natural environment. Personally, I think being in the outdoors makes one much more aware of theirs surroundings and senses.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Go for a Daily Walk

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

Angela M. 10/23/2019 7:27 AM

By walking, I noticed a lot more small shops around my neighborhood and the different plants and trees compared to when I'm sitting a car.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Learn About & Practice Sustainable Fashion

How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

Angela M. 10/11/2019 8:30 AM

There are many ways to obtain "new" pieces without buying into fast fashion. You can go to clothing swaps, thrift and trade with your friends.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use a Reusable Mug

Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

Angela M. 10/11/2019 8:28 AM

I have become more mindful in what I consume and I think it's very unnecessary to use single plastics when you can carry something that's light and collapsible like my Stojo. I love it so much and when you start showing others that it's possible, they will follow too.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Recycle Everything I Can

What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

Angela M. 10/07/2019 8:18 AM

I know that black plastic is not recyclable in Toronto because sorting equipment can't locate black plastic which is bizarre. I think the city needs to make way more effort to ban the use of black plastic for takeout containers since most people just end up throwing them out. I would like to be better at bringing my own take-out containers!

REFLECTION QUESTION
High Impact Action Track Reduce Single-Use Disposables

Bringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

Angela M. 10/07/2019 7:32 AM

I love using my collapsible coffee mug and mesh bags for produce - they're both small and convenient to bring around!

I'm going to try to be more cautious and remember to carry my reusable mug/straw when I'm out during the weekend! It's always been easier for me during the week since I'll already have them at my desk.
