    Had you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?

    I have not heard about silvopasture before my participation in Drawdown EcoChalange. The biggest advantage in my opinion is the restoration of more natural ecosystem where grass, trees and animals co-exist in the same space, as well as the symbiotic relationship between them.

    Reducing (or eliminating) exhaust emissions and improving public health are two benefits of green vehicles. What other motivators inspire you to consider switching to a more fuel-efficient vehicle?

    The obvious financial benefits of fuel savings and parking incentives for EV vehicles in a town notoriously famous for high parking cost are some of the motivators to consider electric vehicles. Also they are cool..
