  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transport Use Public Transit
    How has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?

    I have taken transit for over 2 months now and I am used to driving my car everywhere. I have found that I took it for granted that I used my car for all transport, when transit is not only cheaper financially, but decreases pollution because of carpooling and less cars on the street. I have found that transit is convenient for me and I actually use it for work and off days because of its benefits.

    Food Keep Track of Wasted Food
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

    I would rather use that money to travel or donate to environment causes!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    In your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?

    The way we treat our animals to get the meat as well as adding in hormones to get "better results" of the meat changes not only our livestock conditions, but the way about health is. I would say North American value quantity over quality as well as do not look at the effects of our consumption/the animals are treated.

    the nature is so beautiful when you finally reflect. I enjoy it because I'm usually walking dogs when I do my walks! More enjoyable would be listening to music during the walks that reflects my mood.
