  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Test Drive an Electric Bike
    Half of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Private vehicles account for 60% of trips of a mile or less. Do you often drive short distances instead of biking or walking? If so, how might incorporating an electric bike into your lifestyle help you make more climate-friendly choices?

    Health and Education Learn about the Need for Family Planning

    They all compare with each other because climate change would happen everywhere in the world. If we all work together we can clean and help climate change.
