REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteReducing 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?
Roberta Richards 10/16/2021 4:16 PMThis was an easy thing to do to reduce waste! The next step is to contact all those environmental groups that send me address labels that I throw in the trash - so frustrating. The Washington Post article says that nonprofits will honor requests to get mail only once a year, and not to sell your name, and I'm excited to give this a try.
