    I just refuse the bag and carry things in my hands
  • 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 always have reusable bags in my car.  Occasionally, I just carry an item or two in my hands.  My husband does the same...finally.  It was difficult to get into this habit but we finally did.

    I'm composting food scraps and paper/cardboard.  Taking reusable bags to grocery store.

    Doing well.  Dropped off items for resale at the thrift shop.  Didn't buy anything requiring a plastic bag.
