REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Research Cement AlternativesConcrete is a good example of a material that most of us encounter every day, but may its carbon footprint is not obvious. What other everyday materials might have a large carbon footprint? How can you find out more?
Confused Junkrat 4/22/2019 7:57 AMMaking cheese apparently has a carbon footprint
So I guess in response to the co2, we could stop processing our cheese. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Eliminate Toxic PlasticsWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Confused Junkrat 4/22/2019 7:23 AMI use plastic bags, this can be substituted with cloth bags though, like a book bag. -

Confused Junkrat 4/13/2019 9:34 AMYesterday I went to a 12 hour lock in. This doesn’t really have to do with anything of recycling and such but it was an anti drip event. The idea was to bring in as many kids as they could to a fun and safe places whith many fun things to do to keep them from possibly doing anything that night. Though I don’t think any of the kids there were on drugs, it was a very good idea.
I figured out that they were making dopamine without the use of drugs. I’m a presentation it was said when one gets that high in a drug the person feels like they’re having a great time, well everyone was saying that about the lock in.
I had so much fun and can’t wait to see more events held by the ReAct program in deer lodge and Anaconda, and I actually want to join the ReAct program when it’s possible.-
Amy Reynolds 4/13/2019 2:22 PMThat’s awesome! Love your perspective!

REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Recycle Everything I CanHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "R's" make you feel?
Confused Junkrat 4/10/2019 5:33 PMMy family is reducing plastics in our house, we are using old plastics for art, we are refusing plastic bags at the grocery store, and we already repurpose everything we can in the house.
