    What 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.

    Usually it all boils down to convenience.  In my current location, public transportation is not even an option in terms of a daily commute.

    How has your access to various kinds of transportation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?

    I have had the opportunity to use many forms of public transportation. I found them very easy to use and so I am a proponent.  Experience is everything for this one!

    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

    North Americans are, generally speaking, quite wealthy. Meat has long been a food of the wealthy. To break such a cycle we need to educate on the environmental costs of a meat-rich diet (no pun intended). If we seek out less meat focused foods, there will be a demand-supply chain that forms and eventually outplaces the meat demand-supply chain that current exists.

    Michael Pollan states that "it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor." What are your thoughts on this?

    Eating healthy foods is a great preventative action
