    Some of these challenges are harder than I thought they would be - I am seeing how much waste I create on a daily basis. A good realization.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Buy Unpackaged Produce
    Why do you think these produce products started amassing so much plastic packaging? Who is the plastic packaging really serving -- the consumer, the producer, or someone else?

    I learned one reason plastic packaging is used - to help clean areas clean such as the shopping cart, the check-out counter, and other products.
