Challenge is doing great. Actually checking the actions i realized i'm doing more things, things that now are totally natural, that i thought.
Then the actions that are left are harder to reach due to the fact that I live in a city, I do not own a car...

Waste Use Reusable Bags

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?

Noelle Peutat 10/02/2019 5:36 AM

This is something that in France is really normal for ages. I find it weird that other countries did not do it.

Our ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?
