I definitely got to work a lot faster. I think I will continue more so I can stop being late to work.

Enjoy Fruits and Veggies
Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 5 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

Spend Time Outside
I will replace 60 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
Food
Eat Locally-Sourced Meals
I will source 1 meals each day from local producers.
Nature
Practice Gratitude for the Earth
I will spend 60 minutes per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

Take 5-Minute Showers
I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

REFLECTION QUESTIONNatureKathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How can we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?
Brandon Mills 10/02/2025 9:39 PMI guess I have not really thought about that that much. I guess if we want to get a sense of gratitude as individuals, you just need to appreciate the little things, and I think it's the same for a society. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNatureRachel 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?
Brandon Mills 10/02/2025 9:37 PMIt does, being in nature really calms me down and makes me think a lot more. I think that a culture that spends more time outside will create more people who are less rash and are more willing to talk things out. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet? What fruits or vegetables did you try this week, and which was your favorite?
Brandon Mills 10/02/2025 9:35 PMI tried some more spinach than usual. I felt healthier in general, nothing actually different, just better about myself. It's good to help the planet just a little bit.-
Gianna Marko 10/03/2025 9:35 AMThat's great! It's the little actions like this that add up to make a big difference. One way that I've enjoyed eating more fruits and vegetables is to put spinach and fresh fruit in my smoothie every morning.
