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?
Corey Foley 10/22/2018 7:27 AMI keep my reusable bags in my car. When I unpack them in the house, I immediately put them in my purse so I don't forget them. I also carry a large purse, so I can put purchased items in there as well.-
