  • 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?

    I 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!

    Swapping out packaged snacks for fruits has been great! For one, it’s healthier. It has also reduced the wrappers lying around the  house.
