REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Walk Instead

Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Does this statistic describe your own transportation habits? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?

  Nice. I've also been thinking of utilizing the transit system more. Being in downtown and not having car, it certainly beats using ride-sharing apps. Really a useful and cheap investment worth getting more into.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Turn it off

How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

Jair Chavez 12/04/2023 4:52 PM

i was reading about how it takes 3,000 to 6,000 gallons of water to power one light bulb left on 12 hours a day for a year. Turn out the lights and save both water and energy! and it motivated me to turn off my light

I got the chance to go to the local Beaverton Farmers Market and to be able to buy organic, and it was pretty fun to be able to walk and support the businesses

my daily action was to walk more to places that are walkable instead of driving to places. i live like 5 minutes from a trader joes, so it's like a 25-30 min. walk, and I feel good mentally and physically, knowing that i am living more sustainable, but its also good for my physical health

  Walking is great! I love walking, even though I live pretty far from most of what I would like to walk to, I still try to take walks often. Living in walkable areas and utilizing it is very good for mental and physical health!

  Hi Jair! That's awesome that you decided to walk more instead of driving! One of the things I like the most about living downtown is how walkable it is, and that there's such easy access to public transit.
