Cole's actions
Transport
Use Muscle Power
#49 Cars
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.
Transport
Test Drive an Electric Bike
#69 Electric Bikes
I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.
Women and Girls
Support Women-Owned Businesses
#62 Women Smallholders
I will support women-owned businesses when I shop this month.
Buildings and Cities
Go by Bike

REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Learn More about Wave and Tidal EnergyWhat did you learn about wave and tidal energy? Were you surprised by the information you found?
Cole Strombeck 4/06/2018 1:18 PMI learned that wave energy potential is measured in kW per "unit" (a unit being a wave energy generator). It is currently being studied in the great lakes but has not yet proven to be a sustainable energy resource because the cost per unit is still very high.
