    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

    Easiest thing to do at fast food restaurants, theaters, etc. (Eating fast food has other health and environmental effects as well, but that's for another challenge and/or post.) Just drink from the cup - you can also forego the plastic lid. Now, if only you could bring your own cup.

    Screen time ends at ±10 p.m. No news, no internet after that time. Shifted my news gathering to a.m. Allows for more reading, a calming activity for me, in the evening. I've found that even if I'm up until 1 a.m. I feel much more rested in the morning.

      Scott, that is a good plan. I am going to make that same change. Screens off at 10 pm. Quiet reading, calming activities followed by meditation. Then lights out by 11:30 pm.
