REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Go for a Daily WalkWhat have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?
Kelly Dillow 4/25/2024 6:35 AMMy neighborhood recently had a stoplight installed with street crossing for a busy street that now allows me to safely connect with a whole new area. This addition has been a good reminder how simple changes can significantly improve accessibility and walkability. -

The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?

REFLECTION QUESTIONBuildings Learn about 'Green Gentrification'Cities and towns need to plan for climate change. How can your city or town make its climate action plans equitable and socially just?
Kelly Dillow 4/10/2024 2:58 PMOKC has a pretty great climate plan, AdaptOKC, and I know it is scheduled to be updated/reviewed. Having diverse reviewers, and listening to them is important, as well as utilizing federal funding focused on low income and disadvantaged communities to improve sustainability in areas with more need. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use More Fruits And VeggiesHow does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?
Kelly Dillow 4/01/2024 1:11 PMReducing meat consumption reduces greenhouse gases and water consumption, and that eating more veggies is better for my health. I also don't want to contribute to factory farming, and feel better when I opt out of participating in that system.
