Molly Doerner 10/20/2024 11:28 AMLinked to our minimalist "needs vs wants" approach, reassessing creativity with critical consideration of Conservation... what do we actually create without destroying or depleting resource? Reminders to reclaim, reuse, & recycle in everything we create, making wishes from waste. ♻️ -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth HappinessHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Molly Doerner 10/20/2024 11:17 AMGratitude reminds me of reasons why we do, especially in times of turmoil, divide, & disconnect. From basic necessities to little luxuries, thinking on my place in the world, knowing there is room in-betweens to better balance & tighten the gaps. With Integrity. 🌱 -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Listen to a Food PodcastWhat podcast did you choose and what did you learn on the podcast you listened to?
Molly Doerner 10/13/2024 10:17 PMThis one was an interesting find (though technically not a podcast) as I have been following many videos posted in the aftermaths of Helene in WNC, a place I used to call home. The Aeroponic Tower Channel ( https://youtu.be/Uho9BZJm1Tg?si=Gd7tX1RuUJaL1b_p) is posting updates & footage from Marshall area (I believe) & today circled back to her homesteading, food growing security, & prep which is absolutely beautiful & hopeful to see in the wake of so much loss. I have some catching up to do but feel re-inspired by her work, sustainable service, & sharing. ❤️🩹🌱 -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Support Pollution ReductionWhat environmental factors affect human health in your region, and how do they affect it?
Molly Doerner 10/11/2024 1:09 PMThe EPA site is rich with information & links to local areas of concern. Go gently as it looks dauntingly overwhelming. The US map of Superfund Sites provides enough visual impact to keep trudging through for lasting solutions... & reminders of our long trains of neglect & abuses.-
Jeanne Poirier 10/11/2024 8:44 PMPretty disheartening - and I don't even see Hanford on the map in WA - though if I get back to this (yet another cyber rabbit hole) I may see it. Thank you for sharing!
