REFLECTION QUESTION
Industry Recycle Everything I Can

How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "R's" make you feel?

Andrzej Lange 4/30/2021 4:04 PM

Repair is something I'm trying to do anyway, but repurpose is an interesting thing. Upcycling, alternative uses for "trash" is something I'll keep looking into. Considering things of this kind makes me feel... hmm.. purposeful? Conscious of choices I'm making, and yeah, there's a little bit of the warm inside feeling that fewer things from my household end up in landfill (or recyclables processing plant).

Industry Practice the 5 R's

What are some more "R's" you could add to your daily practice to reduce your waste?

Andrzej Lange 4/30/2021 4:02 PM

Refuse is the next step for me I think. One that I did start practicing during the challenge and am eager to do more! Explore options for homemade soap, refills, etc. The journey goes on!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Go for a Daily Walk

What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?

Fiona Stewart 4/30/2021 1:20 AM

I've been loving long walks - visiting areas of Dundee that I've never/ hardly ever been to. I've noticed more carvings on builldings, more parks and lots of new public artwork. These walks have made me more aware of the Dundee Open/Close initiative (open/close – Dundee (openclosedundee.co.uk))
