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

    I always use scrap paper for quick writing that I am not grading.  My Odyssey team constantly uses recycled materials and I have reusable bags for my lunch!

    It is going well.  I wish I had more time to explore this website.  I'm sure I can do more!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use Reusable Bags
    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

    I used a plastic bag just yesterday.  I only used one and carried much of it out of the store.  I will recycle this plastic bag at Smiths.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Choose Two-Sided Printing
    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    I can suggest it to my colleagues.  I will also take their wasted paper and use it for my classroom.

    Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

    I have looked at the website you all suggested.  I will research it more.  I look at my cans of fish at the store for sustainable, pole caught fish, but can always do more.
