REFLECTION QUESTIONFamilyMost 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?

Dragon Lord 7/21/2022 11:35 AMI chew gum it makes me less hungry. Now that I have a job where I can have a break I'm bringing lunch and eating though out the day-
Ellen Bronson 7/21/2022 7:35 PMThis 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!
