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

    I could donate the items that I don't plan to use/wear again to charity organizations instead of leaving them in the closet to take up space.

    I could also repair a couple of items that could be used if they worked correctly.

    I could set up a better recycling system in my garage to sort items that go to the trash collector so they can recycle cardboard, glass, etc.

    Great reminders of ways to save resources (water, especially), many of which we are already doing.  Thanks!

    Many of the challenge items are easy to do, and make perfect sense.  I am learning new things everyday through the challenge review process.  It's great to save water and other resources - and it doesn't cost much to be eco-friendly every day.
