REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhat 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?

Aleksandra Starzynska 10/07/2019 3:22 AMI agree. Usually I have a reusable bag with me, but when I forget one I use cartoons from the store.
