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?
Mohan Kumar Noothalapati 10/21/2019 9:30 PM

Now as plastic bags are banned. It's not available anywhere to get it. I am using my plastic bin to collect the waste and dispose then wash it. not using the covers.

How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
