Q: Clean air, clean water and healthy food are three reasons to care about regenerative agriculture. In what ways can you support your closest regenerative agriculture farm?

A: When I buy food through a middle man like a grocery or convenience store I am unaware of who supplied the food or what farming practices they use. That being said, I think one of the best ways I can support my closest regenerative farm is to, as Justin put it, "shake hands with the farmer who grew your food." 

Q: What are the factors that influence your choice of transportation? These can include things like money, time, and convenience, as well as perceptions of danger or safety.

A: Time, sustainability, and money. When I am getting around the city I can be more flexible with my time which allows me to choose more sustainable options (taking the bus or riding my bike.) When I have to travel long distances time takes priority which often means having to choose the less-sustainable option. I would love a high speed rail system (or hyper loop!) along the west coast, and would even pay more for the more sustainable option!

Having access to public transportation has been a large factor in my not driving as an adult and having only one car instead of two in our household. My sister grew up despising the bus and without it and has multiple vehicles and will not walk anywhere.
being used to the city and getting around without a car is definitely a factor.

We place eating meat as a masculine trait and you are considered weak if you do not eat meat all the time. we place more value on being perceived as strong and unfussy then we do our environment and safety. We need to stop the idea that being vegetarian is a weak and upper class thing to do. It is simply a choice.

Q: How does using human-powered transportation make you feel?

A: Using my muscles to get to get to work is a great way to start the day! I have to bike uphill to get to work and as a result I get a great workout, start the day accomplishing something (getting up the hill) which helps set a positive frame of mind for the day, and I end up actually being awake when I get to work and aren't as desperate for that first cup of (forest friendly) coffee.
