  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use Reusable Bags
    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

    My car is full of reusable bags and I'm always forgetting them. My partner and I are trying to make bringing our own bags part of the routine of going to the store. Our goal is to get reusable vegetable/meat bags to keep inside the other ones and eliminate our use of those disposable plastics as well.
