  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Lifestyle Buy Only What I Need
    As you have reduced your spending, what have you noticed about your 'health and safety' purchasing habits? How might this change your longer term purchasing decisions?

    It is hard to say yet, but the reduced spending is helping offset the cost of a recent vacation.
  • 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?

    It will be easier to shape the views of future generations than it will be to change beliefs of the current generation. Ensuring we teach and practice sustainability in food to children is key.
