Live a Sustainable Life! The 7 R's of Sustainable Living.

1. REFUSE


Think about the choices you are making.  If you don't have to use/buy a product then don't!


Do you need the paper towel? NO! Refuse it and use the air dryer instead!

2. REDUCE.

If you still need certain items at least reduce the quantity you are purchasing!

Don't be like Sasha. Reduce and buy only what you need!

3. REINFORCE

Protect your belongs so you don't have to get rid of them when they break or get damaged. Cover your books! Service your things before they break down! 

4. REPAIR

If your things do break don't throw them away immediately do a little repair action!

The Ranger's friend Drew knows how to repair a pair of jeans! Sew on a patch and you can be making a fashion statement!

5. REUSE

When possible reuse your things instead of disposing of them.

Reuse your plastic water bottles!

Or better yet...
Get creative! Here someone has reused a cereal box to make a magazine holder!


6. RECYCLE

If you've been reading our blog you know one thing you can do to make the world a better place... RECYCLE! 

7. REDESIGN

Redesign your way of living. Ask yourself what you can do to reduce the amount of waste you produce.  See what changes you can make in your life to stop using plastic and save the world!
