    I use reusable containers all the time (water bottle, food containers, etc.), but this is one I always struggle with day-to-day because occasionally there's a day when I just want to go buy take-out from a place that doesn't offer using a reusable container. It's a balance.
  • 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?

    I may be overdoing this one based on how many sunburns I have gotten this semester. :P
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
    Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

    I also woke up in the middle of the night last night and spent a few minutes appreciating the moon. I think it was a full moon, or at least it looked like one. So beautiful :)

    Practicing gratitude helps me remember how much all the little things day-to-day that contribute to my overall happiness (eating a really good orange literally puts me in such a good mood all day).
