    I watched Julie Sinistore's presentation Resource, Social and Environmental Impacts of Food Choices. Wow! Although I was generally aware about the lower energy, water, and land costs of a plant-based diet, I wasn't aware of how vast those differences were quantitatively. I am genuinely convinced about dropping red meat and pork, if nothing else.

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

    I live in a very car-centric part of the United States, which is already very car-centric! Even though New Jersey apparently ranks well in public transportation, my world is very much geared toward cars. That does create the attitude in me that I can get anywhere almost instantly and never have to put up with extra stops or delays. But of course, instant gratification is a huge part of how we got into this whole mess...

    Yes, I do! It's a great starting point; it's nice to at least take some inventory of what's feasible in my geographic area and go from there.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    What was a linking factor across this group of SDGs?

    At first glance, the goals seem distinct from one another. However, a closer look quickly reveals the necessary interconnectedness of climate, water, and land sustainability. One linking factor is carbon.
