REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportHow do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?
Kristal Caidoy 4/24/2019 9:04 AMMy transportation choices definitely changes my perspective and how I participate in my community. I enjoy walking and biking. Driving is more stressful. Riding transit is in-between because there times that I like taking transit. -

Kristal Caidoy 4/24/2019 9:01 AMIt is good for my mental/spiritual health because I mediate in nature to de-stress. Trees provide excellent shade in the summer and oxygen to breathe. -

Bill Murphy 4/23/2019 5:27 PMYesterday (Monday, 4/22) I attended a meeting of the Climate Reality Project's Silicon Valley chapter, of which I am a member... a leader from Citizen's Climate Lobby gave a detailed presentation about the current state of their proposed carbon tax legislation, the Green New Deal, and California's cap and trade system. -
Bill Murphy 4/23/2019 5:24 PMToday I attended an Elders Climate Action webinar, getting started as a volunteer in the upcoming elections... this is called Elders Promote the Vote, but really its the Environmental Votor Project. There is a serious problem in the environmental community with low voter turnout!
Also, I blogged about climate change on several platforms, including setting up a paid advertisement for Elders Climate Action's northern California chapter. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWomen and GirlsGlobally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. How can you better support communities by supporting women? Can you share any past experiences that may help others take action?

Bill Murphy 4/21/2019 9:08 PMYesterday (Saturday, 4/20) I tabled for San Jose Clean Energy, the brand new community choice energy nonprofit. Our table was one of many at an Earth Day fair at Alum Rock Park in San Jose.
For background: San Jose residents were all automatically moved off the legacy utility Pacific Gas and Electric in March, and onto the new nonprofit at the 80% greenhouse gas-free level.
However, to get to 100% greenhouse gas-free electricity, families need to take the step of going online and opting-up.
This was the message of the tabling. (Our four volunteers, myself included, were actually from the local chapter of the Climate Reality Project.)
For background: The remaining 13 of 14 cities in Santa Clara County are already on 100% greenhouse gas-free electricity through another provider Silicon Valley Clean Energy or the longstanding clean energy program of the City of Palo Alto - a leader in the field.
San Jose is last to the party, and very welcome nonetheless...!
