REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyle Travel SmartHow can/did you prepare to be successful in this action? Did you engage in conversation with anyone about your new habit?
Joseph Miller 6/24/2019 6:46 PMBringing reuseable bags to the grocery store, getting in the conservative habit to do my part with minimizing plastic from grocery trips. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusables at WorkIt 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?
-
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Cook a Zero-Plastic Waste MealDo an inventory of your kitchen to see how many single-use plastics you've used in the past. What are some resuable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable?
Joseph Miller 6/24/2019 6:44 PMMy kitchen inventory will be a conscious conservation effort in reducing my footprint on plastic waste.
