I carried things in my hands to avoid taking a plastic bag. I have put reusable bags in my purse and in my car.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat 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?

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Skip the StrawHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Laura Ambrose 10/11/2018 9:51 AMI have refused plastic lids for cups at food courts if I am going to eat in the food court. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Choose Two-Sided PrintingChoosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?
Laura Ambrose 10/11/2018 9:50 AMWe have made a good start at having printing two sided as the default. We need to encourage our students to submit papers with two sided printing and then using pen for marking that does not bleed through the page. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Try a New Way to PrepCanning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. Just make sure to follow the canning and pickling guidelines from the USDA. What are some foods that you would like to preserve and enjoy later in the year?
Laura Ambrose 10/11/2018 9:48 AMI would like to do some pickling of vegetables. I think it would be a good way to take care of the bounty that is available right now.
