Louise Spinelli 4/22/2019 6:41 AMTrying 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. -
Louise Spinelli 4/18/2019 7:07 AMNow that the nice weather is here, I'm going to get my bike ready and then starting biking to work. -
Louise Spinelli 4/17/2019 5:45 AMI 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. -
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?
Louise Spinelli 4/17/2019 5:43 AMI'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.
