To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

REFLECTION QUESTIONBelongings Host a SwapWhat was the experience of hosting a swap like? Was there anything that surprised you?
Jennifer Reiter 5/10/2021 1:55 PMIt feels better to reuse something than get new, because of the powerful impact it creates. So, often what someone needs/wants someone else is ready to part with that item!
