Hi Binita,

This is your mentor Debbie. :)

I appreciate how you are putting an explanation for the answers of the puzzle. Especially the one in question 9. Zero Waste is an important concept of the 21st century. We need to minimize the use of disposables and try to utilize resources in a smart way! “Refuse what you don??t need” is one of the things that are easily forgotten! But we should know to control ourselves from excessive shopping. :)

Thanks for an inspiring piece of article, Binita. Can??t wait to see the results from Pictoword Puzzle #3!

Best,
Debbie
