Hi, CdA Adventurers! Do you have a favorite take-a-way from Day 1?

Day 1 as a Pocatello in-person adventurer on June 5 opened a whole new world.  I am certainly one who did not give much thought to how I operate (both giving and taking) within my ecosystem community.  I did not possess the knowledge or vocabulary to disucss ecosystems, ecosystem services, their value, and how integral my choices are in affecting my community of animals, plants, and environments in which I live and interact.  Day 1 we defined ecosystem services into categories:  Provisioning Services, Regulating Services, Supporting Services, and Cultural Services.  As I meditated on those four categories, I discovered there isn't a single day, a single moment, whether I am city dwelling or adventuring far away from civilization on public lands, that I am not dependent upon the services that ecosystems provide.  Whether it is cleaner air provided by trees planted downtown, heating my home with natural gas, hiking for physical and mental wellness, sketching with charcoal made from willow branches, enjoying berries over my shortcake from bee-pollinated plants, photographing wildlife on a flood-reducing wetland, or consuming my life-saving prescription drugs originating from natural sources chased down with a glass of clean drinking water, I am in constant interaction with my ecosystem community.  I learned Day 1 how incredibly fundamental to life balanced and healthy ecosystems are, how easy it is to take for granted their services, and how easily an idividual can impact, for better or for worse, the health of an ecosystem.  No longer do I view ecosystems as vast and large scale and difficult to impact.  My take-a-way from Day 1 was an elevated consciouness about the world around me, an awakening to greater detail revelaing beautiful intracacies between myself and the infinite wonder of ecosystems and their services.  CdA in-person adventurers:  I'd love to hear your top Day 1 take-a-way!  Please share.
