Journal Question #16

One silver lining to the dark cloud of Covid-19 is that air pollution has decreased worldwide.  Because few people are traveling and many office buildings and other work places are closed, there is much less car, bus, train, and plane use, and fewer pollutants are entering the atmosphere.  Earth Day was April 22nd, and activists are working to reduce the burning of fossil fuels.  Can we use this current crisis to help the environment? 

Journal Question #15

This is Hazel, my puppy.  She has been a great friend during this difficult time when we have all had to stay at home.   Dogs - and animals in general - can really help people through difficult times.  How do you feel about animals?  Do you have a favorite pet?  Is there an animal in your house that's helping you right now?  If not, is there something not human in your environment that provides comfort and companionship to you?
