Take a moment to think of places you frequent often (work, grocery store, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Learn More about Silvopasture

Had you heard of the term silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?

Mary Ajemyan 4/26/2018 11:04 AM

I have not heard the term silvopasture before I researched it. I believe that the biggest advantage of silvopasture is the amount of space it saves. By compacting crops, livestock, and trees into one area a lot of space is opened up. All the extra space could be used to build new homes or even more silvopastures for more food needed across the globe.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transport Research and Consider Switching to a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle

Reducing (or eliminating) exhaust emissions and improving public health are two benefits of green vehicles. What other motivators inspire you to consider switching to a more fuel-efficient vehicle?

Mary Ajemyan 4/26/2018 10:57 AM

Electric vehicles are also easier to maintain. They have a lot less moving parts than diesel cars, which leads to less visits to the auto shop. This also saves money. Another thing is that the battery doesn't need to be replaced for around eight years.
