REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteReducing 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?
Jasmin Steele 4/14/2021 6:01 PMIt makes me feel better because the amount of paper I received in a week was insane. Now that I won't have to sort through it all and find somewhere to recycle it, I'll save a lot of time. I'll also save some trees.
