  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

    A power plant generates electricity where I live. For it to be built they had to destroy a habitat where animals once lived.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy Adjust the Thermostat
    Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your zipcode, and in your state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use Reusable Bags
    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Learn More and Talk to My Friends
    How has your access to various kinds of transportation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?

    It helps me realize and know how much we pollute when we drive and how much we're killing the environment 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Walk Instead
    Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Do you feel that this fact applies to you? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?

    NO, it does not apply to me.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Who is most affected by environmental degration and/or environmental irresponsiblity in your community? How are they affected?

    Animals are affected by humans not caring about the earth and not taking care of it because when we pollute it kills animals by destroying their environment.
