REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportationHalf of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Do you feel that this fact applies to you? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?
Alyx Bloom 10/07/2019 6:37 AMBecause I live on campus, I walk every day. Even if my roommates and I are making a trip to Kwik Trip, we will walk because it's not too far of a walk. My one roommate and I also like to go for walks by UWL and to Myrick Park and sit on the benches. Myrick Park to Western is almost a 30 minute walk and I never realized that til I timed us. Going out to walk feels refreshing and there's no point in wasting gas to go to Kwik Trip or the park. -
