How can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place -- your deep knowledge of and appreciation for your surroundings?

Spending time outdoors is therapeutic for me because I am reminded that my surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Being outside keeps me grounded and reminds me to have gratitude for all of Earth's services. I am grateful to live in such a beautiful area, and I want to continue to protect and conserve the nature!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health and Education Support Businesses Owned by Women, BIPOC, or Immigrants

Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. What have you done in the past to support women-owned businesses? How can you better support communities by supporting women?

Raynna Jackson 4/08/2021 8:20 AM

I have purchased items from women-owned businesses and I have shared them on social media to pass on the support! I always encourage people to contribute to women-owned businesses because those are where the true values are. I can better support communities by spreading awareness about the importance of these businesses and what they stand for. Women-owned businesses have potential and can reach a wider target market. They give back and protect their communities.

Not only sequestering the CO2 but also maintaining the pressure in the reservoir and enhancing oil recovery.
