    I carry a "travel bag" in my car that contains a reusable straw, mug, stainless steel water container, and eating utensils. I keep it in the arm rest between the front seats. I haven't had anyone say they can't fill the mug or container for me and I always ask not to have a stray. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    High Impact Action Track Zero-Waste Cooking
    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for utilizing every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable, including the skins, tops, and stalks during your next meal prep?

    I traded in my coffee maker that uses paper filters for a French press. Best coffee ever!
