  • 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?

    Reduce: avoid plastic containers whenever possible. Reuse: I will continue reusing plastic containers, It can be easily done if you wash them in the dishwasher!
