YCP Sustainability Fa2021

going great I love doing this 

I've been travelling a lot for different family thanksgiving. Not great for limiting my miles travelled.

this challenge has showed me that i don't usually do as many eco-friendly things as i thought, but it always reminds me to keep trying to better my habits.

One area that I would like to improve on is my gas consumption. Being a commuter requires a lot of gas and carbon emissions. I wish there were public transportation options. 

Creating better prices for healthy food is my main concern. It will help more people if the price was better. 

It allows people to access energy sources for a lower amount, allowing sustainable options to be more accessible and create significant change. 

Nutrition is connected to health and overall wellness. If people are healthy in a community, they are able to be active and productive participants and the community could be benefitted. 

Flooding is a major concern for people in my area who live near the Susquehanna River and in the valleys around the water. Water pollution is also a major concern since a landfill is local. 

Taking care of pollinators is important in order to support local plant and animal species diversity. 

I value knowing the history and community from where I'm from. I think its important to understand the past in order to influence the future
