    I am in a Facebook group called new urbanist memes for transit oriented teens. I am so anti car. High density living and efficient mass transit is the solution to sustainable urbanism! I love trains!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use Reusable Bags
    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?
