James's notes on Topic 28 — triage (2 October 2026)

Source: reviews/james/NOTES_G3T28_2026-10-02.md. Two notes (L04, the summary). None of this topic's videos exists, so every change is a text edit; nothing is committed.

In plain words

Ori turns the faucet off "while he brushes his teeth". The jar is now a honey jar told in your words: it stored honey; when the honey is finished, Ori washes the jar and uses it to store his pencils — that is reusing. The summary names the three things — reducing, reusing and recycling — and speaks full sentences ("When you turn the faucet off, that is reducing…"). The summary was 255 spoken words against the 175 cap, so it is re-cut to 175; L04 is back under 150.
