What I love about a lot of these R's is how they have multiple meanings. Repair is also important in terms of repairing friendships and repairing the world.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291049942974087940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655956116586481168.post-47063816926511216582014-07-30T22:38:17.482-04:002014-07-30T22:38:17.482-04:00I now have more Rs to add to my list!

Whether that be an article of clothing or something as major as pieces of furniture, it saves money and space needing to house it if thrown out.
