Peter's actions
Action Track: Social Justice
Express My Support
#54 Walkable Cities
I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.
Food
Support Local Food Systems
#4 Plant-Rich Diet
I will source 10 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.
Transport
Use Muscle Power
#49 Cars
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.
Transport
Conduct Virtual Meetings
#63 Telepresence
I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.
Transport
Research and Consider Switching to a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle
#26 Electric Vehicles
I will spend at least 060 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Social Justice Express My SupportHow could better walking infrastructure make your city both more enjoyable and more equitable?
Peter Bird 4/07/2019 1:59 PMBetter walking infrastructure could make Durham and Chapel Hill more enjoyable for those of us who love to be outdoors and use muscle-power. It would also make the area more equitable for those who either don't have a car or who can't afford to drive it all the time. -
Peter Bird 4/07/2019 1:56 PMDarn. I wasn't able to meet any of my challenges today. But great to see so many people on the team hitting their goals!
