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 reuseable one with you? 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 establish this a successful habit?

Steve Craig 10/03/2018 7:56 AM

The best thing to do is carry bins and cloth bags in the car at all times, or a compact one in my backpack if I'm on the bus. If you get to the checkout and you don't have one, just throw everything in the cart and organize at your vehicle!
