REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

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.
