    What was the hardest item to reduce using or cut out that is plastic? Did you find a way to do it?

    Wrappers, everything is wrapped in plastic and its hard to find things that don't have a plastic wrapping around them.

    Less carbon is emitted and if everywhere is nice then maybe it wont make it too expensive

    When you make an area more carbon efficient, it makes it more expensive to live there because more people want to live there.

    I think we should add bike lanes and encourage biking and we should provide LED lights to everyone
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation
    How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

    I get around less when I'm using renewable energy and when I bike. I enjoy riding my bike more than walking and riding in a car, but driving a car is more fun than biking.
