REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Buy Used ClothesDo people with economic privilege have a responsibility to consume and own less? How can the concept of "reduce" be presented to those who may be struggling to have enough food, clothes, shelter?
Jeri Jeri 3/28/2022 6:25 AMYes they do. The concept reduce can also mean to stop wasting materials. -
