REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat 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?
Beckie Stocchetti 11/23/2021 1:23 PMI carry a big purse all the time so if I forget my reusable bags I can just throw items into my purse. I also keep re-useable bags right by the door so I remember to grab some and keep in the car/bring into the store. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Beckie Stocchetti 11/23/2021 1:22 PMI think that meat is more accessible to people who have money, and also that people who have some level of wealth don't have to go through the labor process of butchering their own meat, and don't think as much about how that impacts the environment. -
