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 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?
Sharon Calhoun 10/21/2019 12:44 PMI typically forget my bags in my car, so I take the basket or cart out to my car and load my items into my bags at my car! This challenge has helped me get better at remembering to bring them in!! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Sharon Calhoun 10/20/2019 10:04 PMEating meat adds to more greenhouse gases. It takes resources like land, food, energy and water.
