REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHow can you think outside the box (or bag!) when it comes to disposables?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodWhy 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?
Holly Bourbon 7/09/2019 12:47 PMI think it is the way we are used to seeing products presented to us. The plastic packaging is really serving all of the list in the question. We need to change how we manage our food when we shop. I try not to take the plastic bags for vegetables and fruits in the grocery store anymore if I don't really need it. It is a shift in how we shop for our products and moving away from additional packaging. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Holly Bourbon 7/09/2019 12:45 PMEasy as this is a normal part of my routine and I keep reusable bags in my car. -
