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

    i did not buy anything today but i still have stuff that produces left overs, i am trying to collect those even at work but that is hard (a little bit of chocolate wrapper, a teabag, carrotskin?) as i have to develop the infrastructure to collect and recycle first...
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Materials
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    plastic bags for wet items, eg. the jar i used for my coffee to go after i finished leaks a bit so i put it ina plastic bag before putting it in my purse. maybe i could sew a waxed bag?
