    Which of the 5 R's was easiest for you? Which was the most difficult? How did practicing the 5 R's help you reduce more waste than recycling alone?

    Recycle was the easiest as I recycle everything that I am able to even if the smallest piece of paper. Reuse was hard but I got used to it as I now remember to wash items instead of tossing them right away.
