  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Use Reusables at Work
    It is often true that we only have control over our own actions and not the collective community. How can you lead by example when it comes to switching disposables for reusable dishes in your community?

    The zoo makes using reusable dishes easy as they are always there in the beastro. Sometimes I will forget but seeing someone else grab a plate reminds me so when I grab one I think it works in a similar way.

    This was a really easy one. My bags are bigger than the plastic ones so it takes so many less bags for things.
