Like everything else in cohousing, we do the three Rs together. It’s amazing how much easier it is to share and avoid waste when the people you know best are also the ones who live next door and across the way. From clearing out the produce drawer before a vacation to finding a new home for that never-used kitchen gadget or making a trip to the recycling center for tricky items, collaboration increases efficiency and adds a friendly face and neighborly chat to the process. Win. Win. Win.
