REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Skip the Straw

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

Christopher DCruz 10/24/2018 2:32 AM

Day to day we use many items that we can actually incorporate the "R" like recycle paper/plastic bags we receive from our shopping, reduce water wastage when taking bath during hot days, refuse bags from purchases instead bring our own bags, repair our stand fan/cooker/ at our local repairman instead of disposing and getting a new one, repurpose used plastic pet bottles and use them for potted plants....many more ideas can be derived from the Google.
