I already use small plates. Some benefits that can come from this would be eating less food and because of that saving more food.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Smaller PortionsFun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of this?

REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Recycle Everything I CanHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
John Dalton 4/17/2018 1:09 PMI can reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfills by putting materials that could be recycled in the recycle bin. that in turn repairs and reperpouses the material and turns it into something else. After that we can then reuse the recycled material.-
