It is a bit surprising, but when I think of the food that I waste each week...it is not so surprising. Having a meal plan this week seemed to help! I look forward to more!

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?
Tobey Eugenio 10/09/2018 7:35 PMWater is important for my health... but, I need to also take care of the earth by using a newly purchased reusable water bottle. I leave it in my car and classroom to be sure I have it while I am at work teaching. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat 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?
