    I'd invest more time reflecting on the past and how that has developed me into the person I am today. Furthermore, focus on the future and what the future holds.

    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 find myself carrying the items I purchased in my hand or pushing a cart when there's too many to carry. Although, using a reusable plastic bag would limit this.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste

    Coffee cups. A reusable coffee cup that can be reused and cleaned.
