*hot tip: copy and paste into your notes app or into your journal and review it throughout the week!

Describe your surroundings. faces, objects, smells, weather…

How are you feeling about the climate crises. are you optimistic? scared? somewhere in-between? What are the root causes of these feelings?

What have you learned today? What are you still curious about?

If you took a bird eyes view, what other systems does this topic engage and how they connect?

Are you inspired to act? Why or why not? What skills do you bring to the table? What help do you need?

PARKS by Becky Stewart As urban dwellers when we go to the park, we are quick to overlook how just the act of ‘going to the park’, ‘hanging in the park’, ‘drinking in the park’, ‘playing in the park’ etc. is an act of connecting to a place of nature. It is also an opportunity to connect your own memories to a place, and reflect on how you might have shaped the park and how it might have shaped you.
Next time you actively go to the park to spend your leisure time I challenge you to go without your phone, if possible, and take in the environment.
Take 5 deep breaths to connect. Then think and answer these questions
What's your favourite spot in the park? Why?
What's your favourite tree? Figure out what tree it is?
How are others interacting with built or natural elements of the park?
How does space make you feel?
Are there any memories you associate with the park?
Who do you like to go to the park with? Tell them that you enjoy spending time in nature with them.
Feeling creative? Draw your favourite element of the park!
