  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Walk Instead
    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?

    I live within 2 miles of the school and me and my neighbor walk home but we carpooled to school this morning so, in a way this does apply to me. Instead of driving to school in the mornings we can try walking if its not cold or raining.
