I seclude myself. I also do activities that I enjoy. I would tell other people to do the same.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Brush My Teeth Without Running WaterWhat is the main water source in your region? If you don't know, how could you find out?
Wellesley White 11/23/2023 4:13 PMRivers and beaches are. I could find this out by looking it up online. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Prevent Recycling ContaminationWhat have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?
Wellesley White 11/23/2023 4:12 PMPlastic, cardboard, cans, and paper can be recycled. The most difficult part is not being able to recycle, due to my living situation, after doing it my whole life. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Drive LessHow has your access to various kinds of transportation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?
-
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Use Public TransitThe US spends roughly 20% of its federal budget on defense. In contrast, 2% goes to education, 20% goes to social security and just 3% goes to transportation infrastructure. Do these numbers surprise you at all? Why or why not? How would you adjust them if you could?
Wellesley White 11/23/2023 4:09 PMThis does not surprise me. The transportation and education departments need more funding. I would give much more to these departments, and less to the other 2 departments. -
