  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?

    Water 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 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?

    Depending 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.
