My results was one of the highest among the class, and I know its all due to my transportation. I work 6 out of the 7 days of the week, and my job is all the way in Cape Coral, so I drive A LOT. But it's the job I currently have, and hopefully will find something nearer my home in the future to lower my carbon footprint. The category I decided to work on over spring break was Food, since it was the one category that I saw was at easiest reach. Mobility was close to impossible to work on because my job is a little far away from my apartment, and I could not carpool with anyone since all my co-workers live in the general area of the job. For food, I decided I would buy some locally grown produce, so I visited the
Southern Fresh Farms, which I will say was still a little farther than my local Walmart and Publix (which are less than 5 minutes from my apartment.) The experience was a good one, it was an awesome place to not only buy produce from but also to interact with farm animals and just view the more country side of Southwest Florida. Local produce is also a little pricier than the usual Walmart and Publix, and I am a college student on a budget so what I would usually get with $50 at Walmart, I got much less at the market. This is something I would do when I feel like I am financially stable to do so, but for the time being, I don't think I will be engaging much.
