To further reduce my consumption habits, I would like to plan a regular clothing swap with my friends! If we got together every few months or so and swapped out (perfectly good) "old" clothes for "new" clothes, we would feel less of a need to buy!

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth & EquityHow have you reduced your purchasing habits and what would you like to do next to reduce your consumption habits?
Lara Jenkins 4/26/2022 7:59 AMI have reduced my purchasing habits by ensuring the items I do purchase will last for a long time and will not need replacing often.
To further reduce my consumption habits, I would like to plan a regular clothing swap with my friends! If we got together every few months or so and swapped out (perfectly good) "old" clothes for "new" clothes, we would feel less of a need to buy!

Lara Jenkins 4/26/2022 7:56 AMI already take the bus every day to get to and from work, and I am a pescatarian (and I rarely eat fish!)

Lara Jenkins 4/26/2022 7:48 AMI am excited to spend my vacation in May in Sherbrooke visiting my sister. We will be hiking Mont Orford!
I hope Sherbrooke is considered the same "region" - it's definitely a lot better than taking a plane!-
Melissa Tomecz 4/26/2022 4:37 PMIt definitely is the same region! It's the province of Quebec :) I think that is sufficient.
