REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Learn the Truth About Expiration DatesHow does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?
Rosie PD 4/10/2019 9:09 AMI did not know that "use by" and "best by" were essentially the same; I had thought that "use by" was the only label that did signal a spoilage concern. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Use Public TransitHow has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?
Rosie PD 4/03/2019 12:29 PMI grew up in Chicago, so my default thought is to take the bus somewhere. I am far less intimidated by learning new transit systems. I hate driving cars. I have learned this is thoroughly uncommon where I live now.
