Reduce Single-Use Disposables

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Reduce Single-Use DisposablesBringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Emily Keller 10/09/2018 4:09 PMIn light of this challenge, I have been trying to find ways to use less single-use items. Before the challenge I was already using reusable items as well. Examples of new reusable items I’m using include reusable grocery bags, reusable washable sandwich bags and reusable metal straws; I love them all! -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhat do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?
Emily Keller 10/08/2018 11:47 AMSince we are a well developed country, many people have the wealth to eat meat for almost every meal. In less developed countries it is common for people to eat mainly vegetarian meals. It is hard to shift a meat centered country but the more educated people become on the topic, the less meat we will eat as a country.
