      Many places in A2 don't offer straws, if you want one now, you need to ask.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Family Provide the Alternatives
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) does your family regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    Straws and K-Cups for coffee are the highest plastic materials in our house.  Began only making pots of coffee instead of using K-Cups!
