    I brought a bunch of plastic bags to the grocery store this morning for recycling.  Been meaning to do that for a while!

  • 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 added a cloth tote bag to my work bag this morning.  Now I'll be ready for random grocery trips on my way home from work!
