    Reduce is my favorite of the 3 R's of sustainability.

      Cool! I'm super into the 'Reuse' myself. I am big into saving what are normally seen as disposable containers for other purposes. Always choosing reusable bags and cloth napkins too! But you're right - Reduce is arguably one of the most impactful ways to save the environment! Kudos for that!
