REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

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?

Typically when I am grocery shopping, I find that I don't have to many items to carry out. In the case where I may have forgotten to bring a bag I will usually just carry out my items in my hands or ask for a recyclable box. A good habit to get into is to always have a reusable tote with you and keep it in your bag, car, etc.
