During the last week I set a goal for myself to walk at least 2 times a day to a place that I needed to go instead of driving. Here is my reflection on how it went;
- What was your goal?
My goal was to walk to places I needed to go at least twice a day.
- Did you achieve it? How or how not?
I did not achieve my goal because I found it hard to add an extra 20 minutes or more to my travel time because I am really busy outside of school. I think a more realistic goal would have been to take transit and/or carpool.
- What was the most challenging part of achieving your goal?
Doing it twice in a day. I could usually walk to school or home, but I couldn’t do both and my activates outside of school are way to far to walk.
- What would you do differently next time?
Probably take transit to help reduce my footprint instead of walk because that is still one less vehicle on the road. I think I would need to do a little research on the system, but I might even be able to extend this to my after-school activities which is way more realistic then walking there.
- Will you continue on with this type of goal? If you do, explain what you will do. If not, explain why you are satisfied with where you are at.
I think I will continue with a similar goal but not the same. I will try and take transit or carpool at least 2 times a day.
