REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Advocate for More Food OptionsWhat changes would help food insecure regions have access to local, seasonal foods? How can your choices contribute to these changes?
Christian Gomolchak 11/18/2021 7:37 AMI think that if we were able to transport just mostly seasonal foods into places in food-insecure regions then we would allow them to have access. I can help by just buying seasonal foods and advocating for these changes. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Work from HomeIt takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. How have you used technology to replace in-person meetings or work this year?
