REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

Tyler King 10/17/2019 7:54 AM

Thankfully, plastic bags aren't commonly used in my area. If I forget to bring a reusable bag with me, I'll try to carry what I have in my hands or a cart, but will sometimes accept a paper bag. Spontaneous trips do come up, but usually a little bit of foresight and planning lets me avoid accepting disposable bags.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Use Public Transit

The US spends roughly 20% of its federal budget on defense. In contrast, 2% goes to education, 20% goes to social security and 3% goes to transportation infrastructure. Do these numbers surprise you at all? Why or why not? How would you adjust them if you could?

Tyler King 10/17/2019 7:46 AM

They don't really surprise me, military defense spending always seems to take up a very large portion of the federal budget. I would love for education and transportation to receive more funding, I think they have a large impact on the daily lives of average citizens.
