Maggie Shulka 7/29/2019 6:04 PMGood. Since we’re back from my vacation, I think it’s easier. We don’t go out to eat that much. I don’t have to worry about plastic straws or utensils. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusable UtensilsHow can you be an advocate for using resusables instead of disposables for the rest of your community? Where are they currently dependent on disposable cutlery, and how can you convince them of the need for change?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Minimize PackagingWith the added mindfulness of reducing your packaging, what have you noticed about the amount and type of single use plastics used for packaging when you shop in the grocery store?
Maggie Shulka 7/18/2019 3:16 PMSome items are packed so as to make it look like you are getting more product than you actually are. Reduce the over packaging so we can see what we are really getting.
