Research a Wild Animal
I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will spend at least 40 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWildlife Research a Wild AnimalWhat interesting facts did you learn about the animal you researched? What are some of your favorite things about this animal?
Yamil Adams 4/26/2020 9:57 PMI researched on javelina's. Some facts about then are, they can be found in the deserts of southwest Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, southward through Mexico and Central America and into northern Argentina, one major adaptation for survival is the fact that javelina live in large family groups. The average group size is 10 or less, but a few herds have known to number up to 53 animals, javelina are classified as herbivores. My favorite thing about them is their appearance. I think pigs are cute, these aren't nearly as cute but they still look cool. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate Stay on the GroundWhat was your process like for restructuring your trip? How can you avoid more air travel in the future?
Yamil Adams 4/26/2020 9:51 PMIv'e been travelling a bit with my family recently ( in the car just looking around, not actually getting out ) and it's been nice. One time when I was younger, me and my family drove all the way from here to Los Angeles and it took about 14 hours. I don't mind long drives. Sometimes depending on the distance, you can make a trip faster on a car than a plane. To avoid air travel i just won't go. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Learn the Truth About Expiration DatesHow does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?
Yamil Adams 4/26/2020 9:42 PMI would say it only betters your decisions in the amount of waste you create. I can make more aware of if you need to throw something away or not. You can wait a few more days even after somethings best by date, that just means the time the thing is at its best quality. And manufacturers ensure with the sell by date that the product will have a long shelve life.
