REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhat 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?
Alex Schuette 10/16/2019 11:17 AMIf I forget a bag I usually carry them or use a cart to put them in my car. I live in an apartment so if it is a bit of stuff, I use a wagon to bring them inside from the car. I usually don't forgot a bag with i'm going to the grocery store, but I try and keep several extras in my car just in case.
