REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteOur ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors, including market demand for recyclables. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?

Most paint stores like Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore will accept latex and oil-based paint for recycling. Need to call ahead to make sure. Old stand alone air conditioner units are much harder to recycle. Right now, only option is through the landfill service - they are still recycled, thought. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicityIn what ways can you increase the positive impacts and decrease the negative impacts of your financial investments?
Amy Betts 10/08/2025 3:14 PM- Pet Parent 🐾
As I work through wants vs needs, ensure that my spending and investment decisions support my financial goals without harming others or my community. This means carefully assessing the full supply chain impact of products, services and investments when making financial decisions. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodWhat is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?
Amy Betts 10/06/2025 5:05 PM- Pet Parent 🐾
Exclusively purchase organically grown fruits and vegetables. While more expensive monetarily, they are less expensive in terms of health and environmental outcomes.-
