REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat 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?
Ashley Mielenz 10/22/2019 10:59 AMI have started being much more aware of my purchases when I do not have a reusable bag with me, if I don not have one I will carry my things out by hand or in a cart to avoid using plastic bags. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth HappinessHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Ashley Mielenz 10/09/2019 9:31 AMI think practicing gratitude is so important because I personally think people are better when they are feeling appreciated. It only takes a few seconds to show someone gratitude but that may stay with the individual for a long time. -
