I won't be participating the next couple of days (meaning I wont be able to log in) because I will be traveling out of town with my aunt to visit my mom. It is quiet a difference when it comes to recycling and conserving energy between here and over in Eastern Oregon where she lives. It's much more of a laid back approach to it.

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?

Rudy Jeffery 10/02/2018 5:41 PM

I am pretty aware of how much electricity I use (I pay the electric bill). I always try and turn off lights in rooms I am not in, unplug my cell charger when not in use, I try to remember to turn off my surge protector for my TV, PS4, surround sound system, and take showers of luke warm water.... if I take a hot shower I keep it under 5 minutes.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Go by Bike

How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

Rudy Jeffery 9/21/2018 2:46 PM

It causes me to engage the community. Instead of "white-knuckling" it to work I ride at my own pace, smile and wave at joggers or moms with their kids as I cruise along the bike paths to work. Yes the experience is different in all scenarios. Walking and riding transit seems to be more of an isolated traveling experience while biking you have more interaction with people. I do not drive or even own a car. Car insurance and maintenance and gas and car payments? What's that?
