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?
Jocelyn Mitchell 10/03/2018 4:05 PMI find myself trying to take things in my hands but I have also taken disposable ones. I have two small purse sized disposable bags and I just placed them in my purse to make sure that I have them when I need them!
