    Today's "motto" : Bring a canvas bag with you when you go shopping, buy your fruit and veg loose and stop buying bottled water.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water
    What would a sustainable water future in your region look like? What needs to change?

     If you have a small leak in your toilet or a faucet, you could be losing hundreds of gallons of water per day
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    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?

      I agree. Usually I have a reusable bag with me, but when I forget one I use cartoons from the store.
