I definitely like repurposing things for art. I took some old cupboards once and sanded and painted them for my wall.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFamily Plastic Free Lunch BoxesMost 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?

Chloe Rossman 7/22/2019 1:00 PMIt is going pretty good. I definitely have realized how much I throw away and I want to change that. I have been saving all my cardboard or paper products and burning them instead of throwing them out. -
