When I'm walking back in the neighborhoods by my house, it's pretty pleasant. My fiancé and I have journeyed towards town, but what makes that experience unpleasant is that the sidewalk is very exposed to the main road. It's loud, there is car exhaust and in general feels pretty dangerous.

 In other areas I have lived, the walkway to travel on, though parallel to a main road, was about 20 feet away with trees and bushes planted in between. This was nice because you could still get to where you needed to go, but the experience was a little bit more peaceful. Areas designed in this way would make "going for a walk" to the store, seem much better than a drive.

I think it's easier to eat meat when if you're not the one killing the animal and preparing it for a meal! We don't think about the process if we don't have to go through it. There's more that goes into this than most of us know. For me, I feel better in general eating a plant-based diet.

Re-wash! This sort of flows into re-use, re-purpose etc., but I think it's important to remember that if a glass bottle or jar can be useful to you later, then just wash and save for another time. Re-wash and save your growlers!!

It's easier to not think about waste when we can't see how our actions directly impact other people, animals and places. Being able to visualize the waste a little bit better through this exercise helped me understand how much we are actually consuming and what has the most affect on our waste. This will take some overall awareness of our waste over time, but the exercise was helpful.

We can be less wasteful if we do not simply throw food away because it has passed one of these dates. Most of the time these foods are really unlikely to make use sick just because they are older than the date on the label. Since most of us have quick access to the internet, all it takes is a quick search on the particular product before you commit to tossing it in the garbage or compost.

As a resident of Clark County, I do not qualify for the incentive.
