Jakub Adamowicz 4/18/2019 6:16 PMAt my company we will utilize slack and facetime to hold meetings, just like we did today. Many times everyone is on a different schedule and driving to meet up is not only inefficient but costly. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Stay on the GroundWhat was your process like for restructuring your trip? How can you avoid more air travel in the future?

Jakub Adamowicz 4/18/2019 6:13 PMEating smaller portions can be greatly beneficial to your diet helping you stay healthier. It is also a great way to cut down food waste. -
