REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterialsHow 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?
Emily R. 3/29/2019 5:47 AMReduce food waste and overall consumption of (needless) consumer goods. Reuse packaging containers (i.e. glass, metal tins, plastic containers). Refuse to buy products that I know cause more harm than good. Whether that be in the manufacturing process or how the impact the environment when tossed in landfills. Repair items rather than replace them. -
