    Going meatless, zero-waste, and shopping at the market is delicious. I tried a new recipe for blueberry bread and it turned out amazing!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transport
    How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

    I love walking wherever I can. You see so much you miss when driving. It is such a sensory experience. I often stop to enjoy a bird singing or the scent of a garden.

    Riding the bus/train in this city can be frustrating. We definitely need better infrastructure. Sometimes what would be a 20 minute drive can be nearly 2 hours on transit. And depending on the time of day/day of the week, the schedule can be inconvenient. Public transit is my primary form of transportation, so I have to make sure I bring a good book whenever I am out and about on the bus/train!
