  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Go Paperless
    Reducing 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?

    There is no excessive spam, no need to accumulate a pile of advertisements for checking. To be honest, too many emails will cause me mental pressure, and I always feel that something is coming to me. I think the next step to reduce waste is to recycle paper. Some waste paper can be used for drafting and write something.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Choose Two-Sided Printing
    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    Two-sided printing can reduce paper waste, and it is very convenient to set up on the computer. It can encourage other people to use it on a large scale. When multiple sheets of data need to be printed, two-sided printing can save a lot of paper.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Plant an Herb Garden
    Consider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?
