    Trying to think about what I can do to avoid something going into trash or even the recycling bin.  For instance, using reusable containers instead of zip lock bags or plastic wrap.

    Now that the nice weather is here, I'm going to get my bike ready and then starting biking to work.

    I know I can do better but it is disheartening when others don't even try.  When I think that my efforts aren't worth it or adding up to much, I remind myself that if others are doing the same, it will have an impact.

    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'm very focused on recycling but by reducing and reusing/repurposing it is more impactful in the long run.   It does make me feel like I am helping improve the future, even more than recycling.  Need to keep it top of mind.  Even small things add up when all of us are doing it.
