  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Use Public Transit
    The US spends roughly 20% of its federal budget on defense. In contrast, 2% goes to education, 20% goes to social security and 3% goes to transportation infrastructure. Do these numbers surprise you at all? Why or why not?

    This doesn't surprise me. I wish more went towards the students; however. This is an important time in a child's life to gain the knowledge that they need and this is where they are shaped as individuals. I think more attention should be paid to schools than it is, especially with all the problems we are facing in this country.

    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    Something I like to do from time to time is going on a walk with my friends and family and I also like to go outside. It feels refreshing when I can get outside for a walk during lunch
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    I would rather spend this money on fun activies, such as movies, or family time
