Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    At Home Practice the 5 r's
    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?

    Recycling is the easiest because we have a recycle bin that keeps it at the forefront of our minds! Today, when my leave in hair conditioner ran out, I checked the bottom to confirm whether it could be recycled. It could be, so I recycled it! It was a hard to see, so I normally would have probably thrown it away. Instead, I took an extra moment to go where the light was better to see for sure.
