Today is officially Earth day even though we are celebrating all month long. There are many activities scheduled this weekend to celebrate, but today's challenge is simple. Regardless if you live in the city or country, go on a nature hike. Whether it is a city park or rural road, consider it nature.
Today's challenge is about finding your connection with the great outdoors. As humans, if we find a connection a relationship develops. Once a relationship is established we understand and appreciate the choices we make. If you don't have a connection with nature it makes it harder to practice these challenges. You need an emotional reason. We are an integral part of the natural ecosystem whether we know it or not. Step outside today and ponder these questions as you "hike."
- What impact do I have on this place? (trails, wildlife, danger)
- How do I feel when surrounded by trees, grass, and fresh air?
- What would I do if places like this didn't exist?
- How can I take care of places like this?
