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?
Jennifer Karalfa 10/04/2018 6:35 AMI try to ask for paper bags when I can. I leave my reusable bags in the trunk of my car, so that they're always with me when I go to the store. I just need to be better about using them in ALL stores and not just the grocery store. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Compost Food WasteNew to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? Do you know how your compost will be used and the benefits it has on the environment?
Jennifer Karalfa 10/04/2018 6:34 AMWe're composting at home in hopes that we'll be able to enrich our garden soil to have a more productive garden next year. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Go for a Daily WalkFresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?
Jennifer Karalfa 10/04/2018 6:31 AMI talk a daily walk during my lunch break and it definitely helps me focus better for the second half of my day. -
