  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Lifestyle Buy Only What I Need
    As you have reduced your spending, what have you noticed about your 'health and safety' purchasing habits? How might this change your longer term purchasing decisions?

    Key to reaching reduced emissions goals is the commitment, individually and collectively, to making less purchases but also quality purchases.

    I'm really enjoying this...so easy to make a little difference that adds up to real progress.  Now if only I could apply the same to weight loss goals!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Personal Care That Was a Close Shave
    What have you noticed about the economic and social impact of switching to steel razors? Was there ever really a need for disposable razors, or do you think it was just a way to sell more things?
