REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Eco-friendly GardeningWhat are the most prominent water concerns in your area? Examples include drought, flooding, pollution, access, security, and privatization.
Travis Nguyen 10/02/2018 8:47 AMWater is plentiful in the pacific northwest, but that doesn't stop us from planting plants that don't require much water around our house. it helps with reducing the water use on them as well with the time spend to water them. -
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?
Travis Nguyen 10/02/2018 8:42 AMDepending on the items, sometime I would carry it out with my hands or look around to see if there is an empty box, accept a disposable bag is my last option, but I'd reuse the bag.
