Jamie Feldman 10/23/2019 7:08 AMTracking my purchases has made me realize that not only am I buying items which are contributing to e-waste and plastic pollution. There is also a significant amount of pollution tied to each product due to shipping and manufacturing.-
Christi Hodgson 10/23/2019 7:33 AMit is so important to think upstream and downstream, those impacts are so much harder to see but so important when considering our impact. Good for you.

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Track my PurchasesWhat have you noticed about your purchases? Where are you inclined to make shifts, if any?
Jamie Feldman 10/23/2019 6:59 AMI've noticed a lot of my purchases are excessive and not only account for future waste but since a lot of purchases are made online there is shipping further than if I were to go to a local store.
