For those of you who are interested, there are many students like yourself that love the outdoors. Recently, one of my classmates (Rick White) sent me a request to join his Urban Recreation page on Facebook. He teaches BMX riding for children, and is in the mist of starting his own non-profit organization. If you have no kids and want to ride, I suggest you join as well since he has some awesome events planned. The latest adventure he went on was at the desert trails park in East Mesa.
For all of my policy lovers who missed the Plan Phoenix Summit, it was pretty cool! It was hosted by the Mayor, City Counsel, and City Manager's office at the city hall. They had several information sessions about some interesting things for Phoenix. Yes, I even learned something! Did you know that the land of the sun is not ran at all by solar energy! SAY WHAT! Also, they have some plans to put all of the public transit information on an app, so riders will know exactly when to hit the stops. We had some pretty good discussions about starting a plastic bag ordinance, but the speakers stated that it would have to be an Arizona wide change in order to be realistic (I suggested that we can be the change agent, and not wait for Arizona as a whole to change). There was a sustainability session that addressed several topics, that I did not get a change to sit in but I wanted everyone to know that the information is out there.
