  • 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?

    The other night I carried out 6 cans of soup in my hands to avoid using a plastic bag, wasn't easy but that's what I get for not having a bag on hand. One thing I can try to do is have a few extra bags in my car so that I don't forget them at home.
