  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Use Reusable Utensils
    How can you be an advocate for using resusables instead of disposables for the rest of your community? Where are they currently dependent on disposable cutlery, and how can you convince them of the need for change?

    I have started to keep reusable utensils in my desk at work which is very helpful!

    More places around town have decided to stop using plastic straws in the last year, which is awesome!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    How can you think outside the box (or bag!) when it comes to disposables?

    I realized half of my Tupperware has no lids. Also was able to reused containers like sour cream containers or soup containers.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Buy Unpackaged Produce
    Why do you think these produce products started amassing so much plastic packaging? Who is the plastic packaging really serving -- the consumer, the producer, or someone else?

    This was easy for me but felt weird not putting things that can roll around into a secured space like a bag.

    This was hard when I went to the store with a group of people that use plastic bags but easier when it was just me at the store.
