REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Walk InsteadHalf 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?

Zeke Thompson 3/05/2022 6:37 PMSo far walking has been a great means of getting by on campus instead of using the shuttle. I’ve also have used less plastic water bottles per daily consumption. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?
Zeke Thompson 3/02/2022 1:23 PMI believe the barriers are the lack in access of clean water in some areas which prevent people from using tap. I believing changing how water is being manufactured, using biodegradable materials could reduce plastic waste from getting into the environment.
