I am learning a lot of new information, and I really like the fact that I am paying more attention to different ways that I can focus on conservation. I also am reducing the amount of drive time that I spend on the roads, and getting more natural exercise by walking.

How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

I can take more walks and bike rides [without using a vehicle] with my nieces on the weekends. This will help me with my exercise goals and get us all out in nature more than usual. And, we won't be dependent on vehicles.

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?

Felica Sah 10/17/2019 9:00 AM

The numbers presented in the reflection question are a bit surprising and disappointing. If I could adjust the numbers and reallocate resources I would dedicate more for education and also to transportation infrastructure. And, a lot less would go towards military and defense.

I have been doing well in riding my bike more often and walking to and from more locations such as the grocery store and the post office [walking also provides a great opportunity for exercise]. I also use public transportation more often on the weekends too.
