  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Family
    Most of us know that the "3 R's" are reduce, reuse, recycle. Recycling is most heavily emphasized in modern Western culture. 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?

    Often, single-use and disposable products don't just create more trash - they also contain toxins that are bad for humans. What are some other single-use items that are harmful to humans?

      This was my new action for 2022… and a hard one to give up! I had never thought about him being bad but it comes in a ton of plastic packaging. But it is a hard habit to break!
