    Though I did not shop for my lunch I ordered only what I was sure I would eat, no leftovers :-)

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Reduce Single-Use Disposables
    Bringing 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?

    I always take my own cloth bags when I go shopping. Since plastic bags often got punctured at their first use by some food containers anyway it is another great way to reduce waste.

    Looking forward to eliminating toxic plastics from my life - quite challenging given common use packaging!
