  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    Single use plastics have become normalized in our society to the point that most people don't see them as a problem. What would you say to a friend, colleague, or family member who may not understand why these disposables are an issue?

    Although single use plastics are recyclable, many of them are not being recycled. By using reusable plastic bottles, less single use plastics make their way into our atmosphere.
