REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Sarah Krotz 3/25/2021 8:02 PMSometimes it is hard to bring your own cup or mugs to coffee places in order to reduce waste. It is also nearly impossible to do so during COVID. -
