    How has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?

    Today I did not need to travel anywhere, so therefore I didn't add any CO2 vehicle output to the environment today. Yay!

    What do you want to prioritize over material 'stuff' in your own life?

    I do not have much mail as a college student, but things that I do receive, such as cardboard boxes or returned homework assignments, I recycle, and every homework assignment I can submit electronically I do.

    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?

    I don't travel off-campus very often, but when I do, its to go shopping for groceries or occasionally have some fun - this is only once a week usually. When I go to these places, I will either take the Bethel shuttle or drive with my adoptive grandparents to avoid driving my own car.
