Leah Teixeira 10/28/2016 9:22 AMI decided during the Eco Challenge to commit to taking public transportation at least 1 day a week. I learned that this would reduce almost 4 pounds of carbon emissions each day. I also found that taking the Max significantly decreased my stress because I wasn't stuck in traffic and was able to catch up on podcasts! -
