In our educational programs, we often ask students to reflect on the impact they have – and can have – on the world around them. Every day, the choices that we make impact our environment and community – in ways that are both beneficial and harmful. No matter where you live or who you are, your choices and actions make a difference.
While so many of us are spending more time than ever in our homes, neighborhoods, and communities, now is the perfect time to explore the impact we all have on the places we live. Want to spend some time reflect on your own impact? Here are a few questions that we often discuss with students to help get you started:
- How have people changed this place?
- How do we know if our choices will have a positive or negative impact on the environment or our community?
- What can we do to take care of the place we live?
