    It is good to remember every day to focus on the things I can do to be more sustainable.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    High Impact Action Track 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 do my best to not use disposable coffee cups or straws or vegetable bags. I carry a cloth bag with me everywhere I go.
