    How can I share what I have learned in my research with others? 

    I just share "Green Roof" idea with a friend from Singapore. Due to the limition of Singapore land. From my point of view, it might be an efficient way of using roof space. it also provide a chance for residents to build an organic farm and plant vegetables.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Private vehicles account for 60% of trips of a mile or less. Do you feel that these facts apply to you? If so, how might you incorporate an electric bike into your lifestyle?

    It's good to know private vehicles account for 60% of trip of a mile or less. For me, I will take walk if the trip is under a mile or less, provided I am not rushing for time.
