REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportationHalf 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?
Megan Funk 10/17/2018 6:48 PMBeing on a college campus where it's easier to walk/bike versus drive, encourages me to walk more, and it's not only helping the environment but my physical health as well. Also, even to go to a restaurant farther away or shopping, I'm okay to walk then to keep moving my car small increments. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodIf you were to only eat what is in season locally, what would be the hardest for you to give up?

REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about what stands in your way of making this a habit. By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
