REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Try CarpoolingWhat are the factors that influence your choice of transportation? These can include things like money, time, and convenience, as well as perceptions of danger or safety.
Kyle The builder 10/15/2018 5:33 PMIn general I like riding in a car to go places. The factors that influenced my choice are the fact that cars are generally fast and, if I carpool, they cost a relatively low price per mile and a low carbon emission per person. -

As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? Do you know how your compost will be used and the benefits it has on the environment?
Kyle The builder 10/13/2018 5:43 AMI have noticed that the amount of food that is able to be composted is very large and the compost that is produced from composting can be used as dirt in my family's garden. This benefits the environment because it doesn't instead go to landfills. -
