  • 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?

    Many grocery stores have old boxes that they plan to throw away.  If I don't have a bag with me, I'll look for a cardboard box that I can recycle once I get home.
