  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Use Reusables at Work
    It is often true that we only have control over our own actions and not the collective community. How can you lead by example when it comes to switching disposables for reusable dishes in your community?

    I'm concerned about not only the quality of life but the survival of humanity altogether. I think locally we are very condensed, creating literal cities of waste, and globally we are inducing global warming.

    This is an awesome challenge that's fuel for the ego, but arguably more importantly, gives hope for the future of mankind. 
    This is not a challenge, but a lifestyle that we can all adopt-that we need to adopt.
