REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

I try to repurpose as much packaging that some of my food comes in for other purposes as I can. For example, I store some leftover or assorted items in my used and washed yogurt pint tubs.

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?

I have been in this situation before, even though I usually have a few bags in my trunk at all times. I usually opt for paper bags that I save and re-use at home or I use a box that stores like Aldi save and make available for customers for free.
