    Embracing imperfection impacted my plastic free journey by understanding the fact that any change on going eco-friendly is still contributing to something albeit a tiny amount.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Kitchen Use What You Have
    Besides the economic benefits of using the things we already own, how can this practice impact our lives in other ways and influence the way we interact with "things"?

    The benefits of the practice of using stuff we have already own is to minimize waste that we might have throw into the environment if we only bought things that are one time use. It influence us to be crafty with what we have and is helpful practice for survival.

    My plastic free ecochallenge is going well as I am not littering and recycling whatever plastic I can.
