REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable 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 create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

Robert Brundidge 10/22/2019 10:23 AM

I always keep 2 in my car, just in case. Paper over plastic if absolutely necessary.
