Samantha Wills 4/13/2019 5:16 PMI went to the aquarium with some friends today! Rather than taking multiple cars, I convinced everyone to carpool. While there though, there were exhibits about the impact of climate change, and a few activities on the subject, which I participated in.
There was a wall dedicated to climate change as a whole and what can be done, while the second one focuses more on the impact it has on coral reefs specifically. With the information being presented in such a lively environment, it was easy to get a conversation going in my party and a few passer by about what could be done. Very fun, getting education mixed in with a leisurely day at the Boston Aquarium!

Samantha Wills 4/06/2019 3:20 PMToday was grocery day at the apartment, meaning we would typically go our own ways in our vehicles and hit the store. Before doing that though, I requested that we carpool there instead, and they gladly agreed! Hopefully, we can keep doing this for the rest of the month, if not the rest of the time I'm out here.
