REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyleWhat is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHave you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.
June Hament 7/03/2019 11:23 AMWhen we'd refuse straws in the past, servers would often look at us strangely. Now, more and more, they are asking if we would like a straw first, and many times we have engaged in conversations about the servers environmental concerns for themselves and their children. A small action can lead to deep conversations and expanded action.
