    There are many reasons to care about regenerative agriculture.  Additional reasons include enhancing ecosystem services, captures carbon in soil and above ground biomass.  Farmers are using this method more and more, building a community from individual farmers who will continue to grow together. This practice can hopefully sustain healthier options and continue to help reverse global climate change.

    I have always had access to various kinds of transportation. Ferry boats, cars, bicycles, train, bus,community shuttle, etc. Out of these various forms of transportation the only one that provides multiple impacts in my opinion is the bicycle. Using a bicycle is not only a green form of transportation, it is also a tool for comfort, exercise, freedom personal well being. The impact of enhancing individual human health is a key factor in a building green environment. I change my routine as often as possible, to incorporate this mode of transportation to offset my carbon use and sustain a healthier lifestyle.

    My vision of a sustainable community is at least a zero net production CO2. What needs to change is more investment in either carbon neutral or carbon sequestering energy production.
