Yes, I believe it is possible to drive with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to some of the places I frequent such as school.

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Car ShareTake a moment to think of places you frequent often (work, grocery store, school, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Stay on the GroundWhat was your process like for restructuring your trip? How can you avoid more air travel in the future?
Carina Chiu 10/25/2020 1:31 PMInstead of traveling to see my grandma, I've been connecting with her via a messaging app. In the future, I will probably look into alternatives such as transport via boat or virtual opportunities. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Justice for the Whole Community Research Voter SuppressionWhat are the ways in which voters are prohibited from or discouraged from voting in your region and/or state? What could be done to get rid of these barriers?
Carina Chiu 10/23/2020 1:37 PMVoter suppression can be done by the spread of misinformation or due to a lack of training for poll workers. To promote fewer barriers for voters, lots of discussions are needed. For instance, it's important to promote more voting centers for those who wish to vote in person, train the people who work the polls, and also maximize the efficiency of voting. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Reduce Refined SugarBefore you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now?
Carina Chiu 10/22/2020 10:21 PMIn ways, I do believe I was 'addicted' to sugar because it's in a lot of my favorite foods. After taking this challenge, I have noticed a decrease in the sugar I have consumed. It makes me feel a lot healthier!
