Reduce Single-Use Disposables

REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteBringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Carrie Popenuk 10/04/2018 4:45 PMMy biggest waste is from plastic bags and coffee cups. I can bring my own reusable mug for coffee and reusable grocery bags for the store.
