  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    Our 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?

    I noticed that I got more energy in my day and that avoided me from feeling lazy. It was hard to take the first step since I used to spend my time in front of the screen but once I started the activity, I felt like I wanted to spend more time in this place. I decided to spend my time at the gym and starting a new lifestyle/plan for my free time.

    As I was moving there was a lot tossed around the space and I haven't had much a chance to put it in a permanent space, partly because I didn't know how I wanted to use the space. I took some time before the deep clean to organize it probably.

    Decided to tackle this with the goal of de-cluttering my home! I really liked getting active and cleaning the whole house. My favorite part was getting to mop the floors, having a clean house is empowering, especially when the alternative to videos.
