my city does not provide mandatory recycling as some cities. I would like to see a much more strict rules around recycling and enforce fee(s) if not followed.

Reflection QuestionFood Smaller PortionsFun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of eating smaller portions?

Reflection QuestionTransport Use Public TransitHow has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?
ann tran 4/11/2019 1:27 PMYes - it's been much easier to navigate from one location to another without worrying about putting much mileage to my car. It also gives me time to relax before heading to work and home.
