  • 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?

    If I'm not buying a lot of stuff I would just carry it out to my car. If I buy too many items to hold, I will put them in a cart and take that out to my car. I will not accept a disposable bag.
