  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Find Local Recycling Depots
    Our ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?

    I live in an apartment complex in SW Portland. I have been more conscious about un plugging thingsand turning lights off when not in use but I know that the electricity I am using each day is not environmentally freindly but I am trying to make it work and do the best with what I have!

    I have mainly nailed all of the food challenges without even really being aware of it! I am excited to challenge myself beyond just the food I eat though. I think it all starts with YOU and a happier version of yourself will always create a positive force in the universe because you cant pour from an empty cup!
