Discover resourcefulness. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle has become the mantra of our day. In our easily disposable world it is common place to just throw things away. Discover a different way. Challenge yourself to be resourceful. Resourcefulness was all our forefather's knew. Things were not easily replaced, and necessity became the mother of invention. The easiest of these three things is recycling. All it takes is a little time to do your part. Imagining a landfill full of water bottles or K cups inspires me to recycle. Look for ways to reduce your use of something. Cloth napkins instead of paper, refillable K cups, dryer balls vs dryer sheets are all ways to use less of something. Perhaps the most fun and creative choice is reuseing. Look for ways to reuse something before you throw it out. Many containers are perfect storage for items around the house , and Pinterest is full of ideas. Discover these three actions, and not only will you be helping the environment, you will be saving money, and being creative as well. Make resourcefulness a new part of your life.
Challenge: Divide a page in your Discovery Journal into three sections. Label Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Check to see which items your city accepts for recycling and make a list of things you can contribute. Write down one thing you use on a daily basis that you could reduce the amount of. Choose one thing to reuse, and write down three possibilities for its use.
