REFLECTION QUESTION
Materials

What would a sustainable water future in your region look like? What needs to change?
Eli Lamport 4/22/2019 6:24 PM
Water can be saved in many ways, from collection and reuse of water at home to more efficient industrial process in huge factories. Examples of this include setting up a rain barrel to collect gutter water, this could be used to water a garden. Low flow rate shower heads are another great water saving mechanism, the initial cost of one will pay its self off in the savings on your monthly water bill.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transport

List some of the places you frequent often (work, grocery store, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?
Eli Lamport 4/22/2019 5:46 PM
There are several places that I go regularly that I could carpool to. These include: to and from school/ track practice, rides to recreational activities like mountain biking rides, and meetups around Asheville. I can rely on my parents as well as parents of friends, or my friends themselves as many of the people around me are getting their learners permits.
