REFLECTION QUESTION
Regenerating Nature Spend Time Outside

What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time inside and on screens?

Greg Orr 10/10/2022 11:36 PM

I feel like lots of people in my generation are very disconnected and alienated from the world we live in, I think living on screens causes us to struggle more with meeting new people and working through differences in ideals than previous generations who grew up in a more in-person culture.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Regenerating Nature Explore My Area

How can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place? Was there a new place in your region that was exciting to learn about and visit?

Greg Orr 10/10/2022 11:33 PM

I walked to get dinner with my boyfriend tonight. It was all places I have been before in a car, but on foot it felt very different. Almost a surreal feeling to experience propelling myself through space until I reached my destination. Also lovely to see all the neighborhood cats!

I made kimchi eggs this morning, They were so delicious. But the best vegan meal I've had recently was vegan stuffed peppers. They were PHENOMENOL, and I used more of the pepper than one normally would, ate almost the whole top. everything but the stem. It was the hat on the stuffed pepper
