    I want to prioritize living life and not shuffling around stuff that I don't need.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Materials Recycle Everything I Can
    How 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?

    I am carefully considering my purchases and not buying things i really don't need, using up what I have before I buy something else. I have been refusing freebies that I know I will not use, also refusing straws when dining out, and plastic cutlery with takeout if I am bringing the food home to eat. I am continuing to recycle at work and at home, and looking into programs that will recycle items that are not accepted in the normal recycling bin.

    Had you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?

    I had never heard of this term before, but after reading about it, I like that it incorporates two different aspects of agriculture (planting and livestock) and seems mutually beneficial for the animals as well as preserving the quality of the pasture.
