REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Skip the Straw

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

Lindsay Biedel 10/16/2019 9:40 AM

I purchased a little pack of reusable utensils, straws and chop sticks that I keep in my purse so I never have a need for plastic utensils or straws. I also keep a set in our car. Whenever possible, I buy my kids' clothes used and my own as well.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity De-Clutter My Home

How can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?

Lindsay Biedel 10/16/2019 9:39 AM

Thinking about needs vs. wants and adopting a one in, one out policy in our household. Having extra, unnecessary stuff doesn't ever make you feel better!

Lindsay Biedel 10/16/2019 9:36 AM

Buying as much local food as possible so our families' food isn't being shipped across the country unnecessarily.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Reduce Animal Products

Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

Lindsay Biedel 10/16/2019 9:35 AM

Agriculture has a very negative impact on the environment, which I don't think most people are aware of. I truly believe that if people understood the impact from a health perspective and environmental perspective, they would stop and think about their meat consumption and ways to cut back. Not to mention they'd save money!
