    Had a wonderful night engaging with the community of youth and sports coaching refereeing some 6th grade football including a championship game. The night was crisp but not uncomfortable and walked away feeling really good about the evening and the kids had a blast and a well officiated game!

    No one in particular. I'm inspired by all of the entries for different reasons. Some are experiencing major impacts with this eco-challenge, and some are experiencing smaller but just as impactful moments and experiences. The amount of positivity this is generating and helping people work on mindfulness has been great to see.

    I'm finding myself being more conscious about day-to-day life and how I'm spending it.

    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?

    Nature is our true connection to spirit and it gets lost in technology, sometimes. My favorite camping trips are those to our most frequented s spot, where there is no cell service. We get to connect with family with no interruptions from society that's running fast. We slow down and learn new things about each other and ourselves.

      This is such a great point! We should all take more time away from technology to connect with those around us! Thank you for sharing!
