  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Reduce Single-Use Disposables
    Bringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    Bubble tea straw! Now I bought a reusable stainless steel one that i kept in my purse at all time. I am now starting to move into keeping containers in the back of my car so we can use it when we have leftover, or buying a to-go food.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Learn About & Practice Sustainable Fashion
    How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

    You can buy clothes that last longer through company that declare themselves socially responsible.. also, there are several services for clothing rentals now that you can rent .. saving space in your closet but still having new updated clothes (plus dry clean fee was included). The downside of clothing rental is the large plastic that cover clothes after dry clean. That was something that I'd like to see the company find a replacement.

    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
