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

    My transportation choices affect my engagement in my community because driving everywhere is a natural instinct to the people of Chappaqua. However they don't know how bad the gas from the car is for the environment. My experience or enjoyment differs while walking, riding transit, biking, or driving, because it gives you an opportunity to reflect about certain things while walking, because when you are driving you need to be focused on the road.

    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "R's" make you feel?

    I could incorporate other R's into my lifestyle by making sure to recycle all items I use than can be recycled.  Implementing these R's makes me feel stronger because I'm helping the environment and decreasing the amount of Carbon Dioxide

    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?

    In my opinion, the low prices of fast food is what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries. Fast food places that serve meat make their prices very low so more people will want their products. This says that North Americans care more about the price of their food than the quality.

    What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?

    On the daily walks, I have noticed the scenery and the trees but also the construction that is taking place as well. The construction is releasing carbon dioxide into the air, increasing pollution.
