For this discussion question, I want you to think about your role as an online student at an online college.

1. Now that you have read about the effects of carbon footprints on our global climate change, in what ways do you think being an online learner is reducing your carbon footprint?

2. Are there other things you can do differently that will reduce your carbon footprint?

In this activity, you will explore ways to create flow in your life. The more flow you create day to day, the more positive will be your inner experience of life. Make a choice; write about one of the following:

3. Write about a specific past event when you experienced flow in any part of your life. Remember, flow is characterized by total absorption in what you're doing, an altered awareness of time, and a sense of performing at your very best. Fully describe the experience so that a reader will be able to experience it with you.

4. Write about your perfect work of the future, the kind that you believe will create the most flow in your life. Think about any past or present work experiences. Identify the feelings these jobs generated in you (particularly boredom, anxiety, or flow). Then let your imagination run free. Design your perfect job, its challenges, rewards, fellow workers, hours, location, and envi- ronment. Consider everything that will make this work something you would love to do even if you didn't get paid. Indulge in some no-limit thinking.
