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 reuseable one with you? 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 establish this a successful habit?

Suresh Natarajan 4/08/2019 9:29 PM

I carry the things in a Cart. Most of the times I carry two reusable bags in my car and one small bag if I go alone for a purchase.

Transportation Use Public Transit

The US spends roughly 20% of its federal budget on defense. In contrast, 2% goes to education, 20% goes to social security and 3% goes to transportation infrastructure. Do these numbers surprise you at all? Why or why not?

Suresh Natarajan 4/08/2019 9:27 PM

Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Do you feel that this fact applies to you? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?

Suresh Natarajan 4/08/2019 9:21 PM

I use my office cab transport in all 5 working days from Monday to Friday. The pick up place is located 1 Mile away from my home. I walk this distance daily to and fro which is kind of exercise for me.
