    having one available & large enough makes it easier for me to make the switch. I current reuse all of my coffee cups, and if I go to a stand, I hand them my reusable one for themt o refill and get a discount

    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle

    offer incentive for recycling and reusing. barriers for  me are the ease and convenience of bottle water. I would use more water from tap if my area didn't use chlorine in the water supply

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
