    Family planning should be available to everyone in this country regardless of who they are

    I grew up with cars. That's it. There was no public transportation in Covington, and even now only has a couple of lines running through it. So, I grew up yearning to drive, then learning to drive, in order to escape. Cars represent freedom to me, and to many Americans. The feeling of not being beholden to anyone else is freeing.  I started...

    I am a millennial, so I grew up with the [then three, now five] "Rs." It was part of my general public education. So I've been a reduce/reuse/recycler forever. What I could definitely do is incorporate more repurposing into my life. Old containers become new containers, old sheets become new rags, etc. I don't do as much of that as I...

    Growing up in a small town in Texas, we didn't really have public transportation, other than the school bus.  Even in Houston, options were pretty limited and most people drove - parking was rarely an issue.  I always wished there were better public transportation options because I don't really like driving in traffic, and it seemed so much...

    my city does not provide mandatory recycling as some cities.  I would like to see a much more strict rules around recycling and enforce fee(s) if not followed.

    I love the subway in NYC and other big cities, where it just works and driving is not a realistic option... Seattle just has a long way to go, its still faster to go by car to a lot of locations. My last job, I could drive there in 30 minutes or take the bus for 60+ minutes. Its hard to commit to that extra time. Once Seattle hits the point...

    I discovered/confirmed by keeping the food waste log that very little of our food goes into the garbage as we compost and have chickens/dogs/cats that all benefit from the food we don't consume.  So that made me feel good.  What I do see is that there is a lot of food packaging in the garbage so want to focus more on buying items whenever...

    There's a famous plot/chart by Michael Mann known as the "hockey stick" graph that shows how humans have affected global warming.  It's called the Hockey stick because its shape is composed of one long gradual cooling trend in global air temperature over the last 1,000 years (the 'handle'), until the last 150 years which show an...
