REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusable ContainersHow can you think outside the box (or bag!) when it comes to disposables?
Kelly Douglas 7/28/2019 9:50 PMSometimes an easy way to find reusable containers is to utilize what you already have. For instance Talenti ice cream comes in a plastic container with a screw on lid. Its perfect for small fruit, yogurt etc. I see quite a few people at the aquarium use this! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusable BagsHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Kelly Douglas 7/28/2019 9:48 PMFor me, I usually have my backpack with me, so I can usually utilize that as my reusable bag. I try to plan ahead also. If I think I might be going to a store on my way home, I'll try to pack my reusable bags or other produce mesh bags, so I have an option with me!
