How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?
Instead of driving, I walked to the shops near my housing area. Sadly, most people here don't walk due to the hot weather, so, neighbourhood engagement is very limited.
I am walking whenever I can. Regardless the weather. Usually distance below 2km in a city is faster to do by walking than by any transport. Unless very limited case when a transport is immediately available at your exact location and can drop you exactly at the desired location, and there is no traffic issues. So sounds like 2am conditions for a crowdy city ;).
Shocked to see my carbon footprint from food consumption could be so high, although I have done many to help the environment from 5Rs to minimum travel.
We need to be more willing to invest on sustainable energy alternatives in our own home. Our local government could encourage more households to install solar-powered appliances with tax incentives and subsidies!
