I used to have a hybrid and it was very nice not having to take the time at the gas station to fill up all the time!

Transport
Use Muscle Power
#49 Cars
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.
Materials
Recycle Everything I Can
#55 Household Recycling
I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
Transport
Stay on the Ground
#43 Airplanes, #63 Telepresence
Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
Food
Support Local Food Systems
#4 Plant-Rich Diet
I will source 25 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.
Transport
Research and Consider Switching to a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle
#26 Electric Vehicles
I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Use Muscle PowerHow do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?
Lisa Sanzenbacher 4/23/2019 2:20 PMBiking is a "feed 2 birds with one seed" (or whatever PETA- approved saying there is now). I need to commute to work and I need to work out. I don't have time to do both. So as long as it is above 50 degrees, I'll do the 7 mile commute (each way) -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransport Stay on the GroundWhat was your process like for restructuring your trip? How can you avoid more air travel in the future?
Lisa Sanzenbacher 4/23/2019 2:17 PMI would like to see how much CO2 will be avoided by driving, because there is the fuel for the car, extra food to eat, hotels to stay in, etc.
