I will take a walk for 35 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

Nichols Deb 4/11/2024 5:03 PMWasn't able to talk to anyone about energy alternatives today and wasn't able to reach my daily 35-minute walk. I plan on catching up tomorrow. -
Nichols Deb 4/10/2024 6:20 PMWalking outside for 30-35 minutes and then coming back home to eat some fruits has become a habit. Once again, I saw more people walking outside and using their bikes, but also a lot more cars. Traffic was heavy. -
Nichols Deb 4/09/2024 7:37 PMThe weather is starting to get nicer, which explains why I saw a lot more people walking or using bicycles.-

Nichols Deb 4/07/2024 6:14 PMI went for a little jog today (35 minutes) and then had a few servings of pears and strawberries. -
Nichols Deb 4/05/2024 1:14 PMMentioned renewable energies to my uncle and he told me that he was already thinking about adding solar panels back to one of his properties in Bangladesh. Walked for about 35 minutes near my primary school, so brought back a lot of memories. -
Nichols Deb 4/04/2024 8:05 PMHad no electricity today, so it made me think about renewable energies and how some systems offer energy storage for times of need such as a snowstorm. Also, wasn't able to walk outside today due to the snow, which is why I counted the time it took me to walk back and forth from the train station to school as my daily minutes.-
Jessica Burpee 4/05/2024 1:41 PMThis reminds me, I don't think Hydro Quebec lets us store energy from our solar panels and sell it back to the grid the way they let people in Ontario. This needs to change - a petition topic for someone next year?

Nichols Deb 4/03/2024 5:27 PMToday I walked for around 35 minutes with my grandmother around the neighborhood and we each had an apple afterwards.-
Nichols Deb 4/10/2024 6:22 PMOf course, she'll be more than happy to be included in my schoolwork! -
Jessica Burpee 4/05/2024 1:42 PMWe want photos of your grandmother! Ha ha, just kidding, but I love that image in my head. Can you put one in your report?

Nichols Deb 4/02/2024 8:06 PMI completed my daily actions today, which wasn't much different from yesterday. Getting used to taking breaks from studying and walking around my neighborhood. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Improve a Bus StopHow can you advocate for transportation systems which minimize environmental impact while also meeting human needs?
Nichols Deb 4/02/2024 8:04 PMI think that public transport is a good start since it cuts down the emissions from all the car owners that decide to take collective transport. This is why I posted the bus schedule times to my "close-friends" on my Instagram story, because I know many of them live close by and could opt for the bus instead of using their cars. -
Nichols Deb 4/01/2024 5:15 PMIt's going pretty well since my actions doesn't require a lot of time from my day and on top of that are fairly simple to do.
