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 QUESTIONFood Meet My Local FarmersWhen you know who produces your food, you are connecting personally to your complex regional food system. What are the advantages of knowing who produces your food and where it comes from? How can knowing their food producers enable someone to advocate for a better quality of life for those who produce their food, both near and far?
Jennifer Reece 10/28/2020 6:01 PMI like to buy from farmer's markets and go to local farms, when possible. It's good to support our local farmers from a social and environmental perspective, since it reduced GHG emissions and contributes to a thriving community. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Justice for the Whole Community Offset for Climate JusticeWhat did you learn from the resources? What did you discover from the offset calculator?

The offset calculator showed the impact of my household, which I plan to try to reduce and then offset.
