REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Launch a Recycling ProgramHow can you take your commitment to sustainable living beyond yourself? How can you, personally, work toward broader change?
Melinda Hammen 4/01/2018 7:02 AMBy setting up a recycling bin in the break-room at work, it encourages co-workers to participate which hopefully they continue the practice at home. At the coffee station, I will set up a bucket to recycle coffee grinds & tea leaves into our home garden compost piles for added nutrients.
