REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Whole Foods DietMichael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this assertion?

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater 5-Minute ShowersName some of the human activities impacting the health of water systems, both locally (your watershed) and globally (freshwater and oceans). What can you do to improve the health of water systems?
Paul Casale 10/30/2020 6:15 PMA common human activity I see that wastes water is leaving the sink running while brushing your teeth and not shutting it off. We can improve water systems by stopping littering and start throwing away our trash in trash and recycle can instead of throwing it in random places -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Paul Casale 10/30/2020 6:12 PMThis does not surprise me because I feel like we in America don't realize how lucky we have it opposed to other countries. The money could be used for other necessities like clothing rather then in the trash. -
Paul Casale 10/30/2020 6:00 PMI chose the actions I did because those actions are the ones that I am most likely too, or actions that I already practice on daily basis like water conservation. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Adjust the ThermostatYour utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?
Md Rahman 10/30/2020 5:52 PMI can unplug my charging cables or turn off my monitors so it doesn't use up electricity. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Use Public TransitThe US spends roughly 20% of its federal budget on defense. In contrast, 2% goes to education, 20% goes to social security and just 3% goes to transportation infrastructure. Do these numbers surprise you at all? Why or why not? How would you adjust them if you could?
Md Rahman 10/30/2020 5:51 PMYes because if they spend more on transportation, people might actually use it. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?
Tyler Perkins 10/30/2020 1:05 PMI used to drink 4 water bottles a day and now I don't waste any water bottles by using my reusable water bottle. I save a lot of money by not spending on water that much anymore and I will continue to do this daily. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Drive LessHow has your access to various kinds of transportation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?
Tyler Perkins 10/30/2020 1:03 PMI enjoyed cutting down how much gas I waste when driving daily. I saved a good amount of money by only driving to places I need to and will definitely continue doing it. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Go for a Daily WalkHow do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?
Tyler Perkins 10/30/2020 12:59 PMI enjoyed walking 10 minutes a day very much! My dogs loved it as well! It was a great exercise and I will continue to do it daily.
