    I worked at the community garden, the Garden of Eden. They raise vegetables for the local food pantry. Really enjoyed working outdoors with members of the Jewish and Chinese community. It helps knowing our hard work will help feed hungry people.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Purchase a Carbon Offset
    A round-trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles emits just over 1.5 tons of CO2—per person. That’s a lot of carbon! What can you do to reduce the number of flights you take per year?
