  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Recycle Everything I Can
    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    I can only drop off medical supplies, prescription drugs that are no longer needed and big items like TV's at the local recycling events.  I have done this in the past.  Throwing prescription drugs in the garbage can damage our water supply!  Big electronics like TV's should not be put out in the garbage, you can get fined or ticketed.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Eat Mindfully
    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?

    I totally digest better when I eat a relaxed and not rushed meal.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about what stands in your way of making this a habit. By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    I use metal and plastic cups.  Problem is I don't want to use even plastic cups. So I  metal cups but they always have a plastic cover.  I want to be plastic free!  :)
