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?

I usually used these bags as trash bags at home. Now that I am using less and needing fewer trash bags I really have less of a need for these disposable shopping bags. I never seem to remember my reusable bags but hey I'm in college if I'm every buying more than I can carry without a bag I'm spending too much money anyway so I should put some things away!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use a Reusable Mug

Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about what stands in your way of making this a habit. By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

I used to always use reusable mugs until college luckily if you just ask the food service people they will help you figure out how you can still be green!

Today I asked the people at the servery if I could fill my own mug with coffee everyday. I know they let you fill up your water but I wasn't sure about coffee. They said It was fine for me to do that! I always use reusable mugs at home and all the paper waste here was really bothering me. So yay, I'm back to conserving seven disposable coffee cups a week!!!
