REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

I've tried to be good about bringing a reusable mug with me all month (even while traveling to a conference!). The hardest part is making room for it in my bag when it's empty. It takes some planning not just to remember the mug, but also to think about how to manage/carry it afterwards. I'm glad I've been using it though, less trash in the landfill!
