  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    In Our Communities
    What are some of the barriers to sharing economies? What is your plan for supporting or creating one in your community? If you focused on purchasing items second-hand, did you have success? What did you learn in the process?

    I am more conscientious about being a minimalist by adopting the habit of buying less clothes. And when I do buy an item, I will try to choose styles that can be easily mixed and matched so I can create more outfits with what I already have.
    I will continue to think of ways to reduce, reuse and repurpose items I have to avoid buying. I repurposed a black takeout container to serve as a pot for flowers that I had started from last year’s seeds. I use reusable green waste bags for brush/leaves instead of buying the brown garden bags. Additionally I always bring my reusable bags with me to stores to avoid using their bags. I find that people take a lot of time and intentionality to adopt this mindset so I will continue to encourage others to reduce reuse and recycle. Habits take time to build.

    On Earth Day my husband and I spent an hour and a half walking around a wooded area along the road we live on picking up all kinds of litter. It felt great to be out in the fresh air and sunshine enjoying a walk while cleaning up the neighborhood.

    I bring my own utensils from home when I bring lunch to avoid using another plastic utensil at work.
