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?
Emily Blum 7/30/2019 6:32 AMI made an effort to reduce my plastic usage when packing my lunches. I used to use a lot of plastic sandwich bags while packing lunches but I went and purchased containers that I can reuse instead. -
