REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Cook a Zero-Plastic Waste MealDo an inventory of your kitchen to see how many single-use plastics you've used in the past. What are some resuable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable?
Cheyenne Kametani 7/26/2019 9:11 AMWe recently purchased a handful of mesh produce bags to avoid the thin plastic ones at the store. While there's nothing wrong with naked produce, I find it makes it easier to check out if my produce is organized by type. This swap alone removes 3-5 plastic bags a week!-
Anita Roberts 7/26/2019 10:17 AMWell done, Cheyenne! I'm surprised the grocery stores other than Whole Foods haven't caught onto this concept and started selling them in the produce departments.
