  Having gratitude and grateful thinking can make your day better as well as other people's day better. I'm glad you are one of the people who realize we need to do something about the climate change crisis before it's to late. Great job!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Community Help Others

In your opinion, how do social inequalities diminish a strong sense of community?

Paige Ross 10/08/2019 6:44 AM

social inequalities add more to our community because it makes us all different. if everyone was the same, things would be very boring. everyone has their own unique quirks and that makes us all special. life wouldn't be very fun if we were all perfect and the same. embrace your flaws and your differences!
