REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation

What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?
Levi Von Flue 10/11/2023 7:14 PM

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?

I actually started doing this this week. All of my extra parts from my vegetables are now going into my compost which will be used in my garden at home.
