-
REFLECTION QUESTIONBasic Needs & SecurityWhat surprised you about the two produce lists? How will you use these lists for your grocery shopping? Have you used these lists before?
Maggie Hwang 4/12/2022 7:24 AMI didn't realize that so many greens and reds are in the dirty dozen list especially since I buy a lot of items from that list rather than the clean fifteen. Going forward, I will keep in mind these items and buy less to reduce my exposure to toxic pesticides. -

Maggie Hwang 4/04/2022 11:47 AMLearn to style from what you already have rather than relying on popular trends! Try out capsule wardrobe and see how many outfits you can think of from a limited selection of clothing. You can also express your personality and creativity through thrifting and upcycling. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth & EquityWhat was it like to practice mindfulness? If this is a practice for you already, what was something new you understood in practicing during Earth Month?
Maggie Hwang 4/04/2022 10:23 AMI did a 5 minute yoga break that I found on YouTube - it felt nice/relaxing after sitting around all morning. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEducation & LivelihoodHow does practicing a work-life balance create a more sustainable life for you? How might it contribute to sustainability more broadly?
Maggie Hwang 4/01/2022 2:01 PMMaintaining a healthy work-life balance is very important. We need to be able to recognize when to set boundaries in order to protect our well-being and health. I like to take 5-10 walks or yoga breaks throughout the day and always stay hydrated. If we don't take care of ourselves, we will feel burnt out and unhappy.
