QUESTION

What do you want to prioritize over material 'stuff' in your own life?
I want to prioritize making an impact on the environment which includes getting rid of material stuff that can be harmful to the environment, If everyone was less attached to materialistic possessions and the consumer-based market that goes to any extent to produce those possessions, we would be very environmentally stable.
How has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?
I haven't had access to my own car for a while, which in a way "forced" me to take public transit. It's a great alternative, not only economically but also great for the environment. By using the bus, less individual gases are formed by individual cars which has a profound effect on the O-zone layer. Now that I have more access to a car, I still use public transit just because of how convenient and efficient it is.
A sustainable community is a place that generates resources at or faster than the rate in which it diminishes them. This is incredibly important since our environment is the source for all of our resources. We need to cut down carbon emissions and have a system in place where we use less fossil fuels and alternative energies such as water, wind, and solar.
