REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation

Reducing (or eliminating) exhaust emissions and improving public health are two benefits of green vehicles. What other motivators inspire you to consider switching to a more fuel-efficient vehicle?
William Lusby 10/11/2023 4:21 PM
I think a large part of my desire to swap to electric or hybrid is that gas costs have gotten far higher. It is important to me to find a way to save money while also helping the environment and I believe hybrid vehicles are a fantastic way to go about that. I also think it is just important to speak with our wallets and incentivize companies to invest in a greener future.

Food, Agriculture, and Land Use

What did you cook and how did it turn out? Can you share a recipe on the feed for others to try?
William Lusby 10/11/2023 4:17 PM
I made a salmon filet with a lemon and herb sauce! It was pretty easy to make as long as you have a food processor and overall I would def recommend it to people. Honestly I did not use a recipe. When I cook are typically just use whatever ingredients I have free to make something special. The ingredients were salmon, dill, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley, and butter!

Coastal, Ocean, and Engineered Sinks

What recipe did you make and how did it turn out? Will you cook with seaweed again?
William Lusby 10/11/2023 4:11 PM
I made spam musubi with me seaweed as it was simple and easy to prepare along with making for a great mid week snack! It was easy to make and delicious. I know that spam is not the most environmentally conscious item but I had it so decided to use it! I am not the largest fan of seaweed but combined with other items it works great!

What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?
William Lusby 10/11/2023 4:08 PM
I have been loving my daily walks, most of it is based around my route to school and back home but I have been taking detours to experience new things. I believe that the walks are helping me form a deeper connection with the area and lets me remember the locations of my community better.

REFLECTION QUESTION
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?
William Lusby 10/11/2023 4:07 PM
I believe that engagement increases significantly when using muscle powered transportation. The journey takes far more of a center stage and allows you a deeper connection with your environment with more time to look around. Overall providing a more grounded feel with your community.
