  • 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?

    every small paper that I have in my home, I try to see how this can be effectively used. could be for cleaning, or wiping the oil stains, or reusing the plastic covers to store the veggies etc. Although it overwhelming, I enjoy doing it.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transport Try Carpooling
    List some of the places you frequent often (work, grocery store, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?

    most of times we do the pooling. If we need to get something from grocery store I walk down which is healthy for us and reduce C02 emissions
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Dependable fresh food, supporting local farmers and building resilient communities are just a few benefits of local food systems. Which of these (or other) advantages inspire you the most?
