Assignment 2
Making choices

Let's step back for a moment and reflect on how this information could impact your life. Write a one to two paragraph personal reflection on your transportation impact on the environment, including what your 'best practices' are and what you could do to lessen your impact.

In writing your reflection, consider the following:

  • How often do I carpool, take public transit, walk or bike?
  • Why do I choose to take a particular transportation method? (cost, time, ease, environment)
  • What are the 'best environmental practices' and 'worst environmental practices' when it comes to transportation among my family and friends?

  • What would make you more likely to select transportation choices with a greener impact on the environment?
