  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    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?

    I was stopping for a gallon of milk and a dozen eggs so I carried them home in my hands instead of getting a bag. It was very easy and one less plastic bag going to waste.
