REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Improve a Bus Stop

How can you advocate for transportation systems which minimize environmental impact while also meeting human needs?

Kristel Renn 10/24/2018 9:24 AM

The bike paths in Madison are so good, so it's really easy to convince people to use them. Taking time to clean them up after our recent flooding was a great way to connect with people!

Energy Choose Clean/Renewable Energy

How might you be able to get others involved in advocating for the shift to clean energy?

I have been working on de-cluttering and organizing all areas of my house! We have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years and it's been on my list of things to do for a long time now. Each day I focus on one room, drawer or closet and get it done! We have donated a ton so far and it feel so good to simplify!

Transportation Car Share

Take a moment to think of places you frequent often (work, grocery store, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?

Waste Carry my Trash

What one thing could you do right away to reduce your waste?

Kristel Renn 10/23/2018 8:33 AM
