  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Industry Recycle Everything I Can
    How could you incorporate other "Rs" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "Rs" make you feel?

    This was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. I was at PHouse searching through mine and my friend's trays to manually filter out everything recyclable and it was stressful because there would usually be people waiting to throw their things away. Most things that I have that would be recyclable I use until I can't anymore like cardboard boxes. The only thing I don't like about reusing and repurposing things is that because everything comes in packages, they begin to clutter up everything. I like to make things look new and tidy, so it would be a real challenge to keep that while doing this all of the time.

    I noticed more little things occurring in nature around me, like the leaves falling and squirrels moving up the trees. I've enjoyed taking the time to observe my surroundings and appreciate my environment.

    Earlier this week I purchased a bamboo hair brush set over a plastic hair brush in order to support the use of sustainable and renewable resouces.

    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How does your eating experience differ when practicing mindfulness?

    It helped me be more in tune with myself and more present.

      Hi April,
      You truly do feel in tune with yourself when you eat without distractions. I tried this habit today in the morning in fact. I would like to say that I felt more at peace as well.

    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our bodies, our planet, and other people?

    Over the weekend I thrifted a Bamboo tray because I wanted to get something to hold my dishes. Not only was it cute but it also was more sustainable (both second hand and made of sustainable materials).

    While visiting Halloweentown in St. Helens, I supported a cute pop-up shop run by a woman selling bags, accessories, and cool magnets. I bought one of her magnets to stick on my fridge.
