Reusable Face Coverings
Disposable masks are made of mixed materials and not recyclable. When possible, I will reduce my waste while protecting myself and others by wearing a reusable face covering when in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

Reflection QuestionPets Invest in a Pooper-ScooperHow are caring for your pet and caring for the environment connected for you?
Chris Pamenter 7/30/2020 8:49 AMCleaning up pet waste has a positive affect on the environment and people's lives. Flies, smell, squishy poop between the toes if you step in it are all negatives that take a toll on the earth and people's day! It is the responsible thing to do.

Reflection QuestionLifestyle Buy Only What I NeedAs you have reduced your spending, what have you noticed about your 'health and safety' purchasing habits? How might this change your longer term purchasing decisions?

Reflection QuestionLifestyle Reusable Face CoveringsIn what other ways can you use creativity or innovation to reduce your waste while adapting to our current times?
Chris Pamenter 7/28/2020 8:23 AMI bought the family reusable cloth facemasks so we were not using disposable ones, even though we used them multiple times. We can wash these whenever we want and they are easy to cover the entire face. -
