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?
Sara Brown 7/02/2019 5:11 AMI think somewhere along the line we have lost touch with where our food comes from and how its produced. This increase in plastic is meant to serve the consumers idea of sanitary when really it doesn't do anything but trap things in and create waste. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHow could you mitigate issues that may arise if the restaurant does not want to let you use your own containers at first?
Sara Brown 7/02/2019 5:10 AMThis is something that should be discussed with a manager. If you want to do this, it is best and most polite to order and wait for the food in person as to give the kitchen proper notice and support. -
