REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyleHow easy was this swap for you? Did you have any concerns before making it?
Felicia Mapa 7/29/2022 3:13 PMIt was easy! I thought it might be a difficult change but it wasn’t too bad -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyleWhat's a positive example of a repurposed good that you have observed in your neighborhood/city?
Felicia Mapa 7/28/2022 8:00 AMMy neighborhood has a Facebook group called 'Buy Nothing' where people in your neighborhood can join and post things they no longer need and others comment if they want it. You just connect and leave it outside of your house at the agreed about date/time. The rules is that everything is free, buying/selling is not allowed. I have given a couple of times and it's great for me because my 'trash' is someone else's treasure, it saves me a trip to the donation center, and you feel a sense of community even just seeing other people's posts and exchanges. The "Buy Nothing Project" exists everywhere and I highly recommend others to search for one in their neighborhood :) -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyleAs you have reduced your spending, what have you noticed about your 'health and safety' purchasing habits? How might this change your longer term purchasing decisions?
Felicia Mapa 7/28/2022 7:51 AMI think this will help me be more thoughtful about all my purchases in food and in everyday items. Sustainability is key! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyleWhat is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?
Felicia Mapa 7/26/2022 7:50 AMI enjoy refilling travel sized containers. It is calming plus I get to use my regular products while traveling instead of having to buy new travel sized products for every trip -
Felicia Mapa 7/22/2022 9:41 AMAlways use my reusable water bottle and don't remember the last time I used a plastic water bottle -
Felicia Mapa 7/21/2022 7:40 AMsmall changes everyday make a difference! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodWhy do you chew gum? What habits could replace and meet your reasons for chewing gum?
Felicia Mapa 7/20/2022 3:32 PMI've been wanting to give up gum completely, no better time than now. -
Felicia Mapa 7/19/2022 7:34 AMI learned more about my favorite clean skincare brands such as how they use all natural ingredients, make their containers reusable-friendly, and carbon neutral shipping practices to offset orders
