  • 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?

    This is always tricky - I plan to leave a stock of reusable bags in my vehicle and one in my purse.  I noticed that the co-op also has a donated reusable bag "tree" in front of the store so you can grab one if you forget:)
