REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Go Paperless

Reducing your paper mail can reduce mental clutter as well as physical waste -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

I changed all of my bills that I would originally get in the mail, to all electronic. I will continue to do this with any other bills I come across in the future.

  Hi Mya! I think switching bills to be electronic is a really simple but often over-looked way of going paperless and ultimately reducing waste. It's great how technology allows for things like this now a days.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity De-Clutter My Home or Dorm Room

How can you prevent yourself from accumulating more unnecessary things in the future?

Mya Duncan 5/16/2021 11:10 PM

I can keep myself from gaining more clutter by asking myself if I really need it or not. I also can make sure I put things away immediately in my room if they are brand new.
