REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity De-Clutter My Home

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Go by Bike

How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

Jennifer Fredericks 10/11/2018 12:02 PM

Biking puts me so much more in contact with my neighborhood/community! I see seals, fishing boats and tug boats at the locks on my route and I am reminded daily of goings on around me that I would not see from my car. : )

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Go Paperless

Reducing your paper mail can be such a freeing action to take -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

Jennifer Fredericks 10/11/2018 12:00 PM

One step at a time to call and discontinue catalogs etc.... I try not to purchase anything in a single use container... making progress with bringing my own for the bulk bins at the store, using shampoo bars instead of bottles, or refilling bottles with bulk shampoo. Its a process. But the small successes are exciting!
