    After 82 years on this planet, I'm doing my best to help turn this planet around. But it is sure difficult! And I persevere.
    Who do I support? Real Organic Project, Slow Food International and SFRR, SFSCN, Cornucopia Institute, Equal Exchange ETC ETC. I sign petitions but no longer march!! I support small to medium farmers by either my local CSA or at farmers markets. And I buy online from EE and the ROP's farmers. I just conducted a tour of a local cidery who are using real regenerative practices on their 5.5 acre property. So that's a little bit about what I am doing environmentally plus driving less, taking the Smart Train and walking!!

    I am going to see where else I can make changes, but so far I have reduced car driving, eating more veges, using a CSA, supporting local agriculture, building a community etc.

    Transportation
    How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

    At my age I find I am driving less, which is great. And Smart Train is close to where I live so I take that when I want to travel afar or near. Mostly downtown Santa Rosa, but occasionally the Marin Farmer's Market, San Francisco (take the ferry from Larkspur) and either attend music or hang out at the Marketplace. But sometimes I just ride with someone else to do grocery shopping.
