    We are adopting ways to create less waste. I also look forward to building upon things I did during this challenge last time.

    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?

    being in nature automatically bestows a sense of gratitude.
