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?
Sophia Carmona 7/05/2022 6:44 AMI just purchased an extra packet of reusable metal utensils to carry around in my purse, my truck, and my lunchbox. I love it because you can have cute pink cutlery AND be environmentally conscious! -
