REFLECTION QUESTION
Personal Care Back in the Bowl

Why is it so difficult to understand the impacts our purchases and waste have on other people, animals, and places? How might your experience with this challenge impact your future consumption and choices?

  There is only my husband and myself in my household so I hadn't considered this.. thank you for bringing it up!
  
  We do have an alternative liquid shampoo and conditioner in bulk at the store - perhaps that might help a small bit with variety. It is unscented so you could probably research and add your own essential oils that might be beneficial to different hair types and customize it that way.
  
  You also get a July discount just for being on this team! Here's the breakdown of the points vs discount rewards we decided on (applicable to your full purchase 7/1-7/31, you just have to show us your points on your phone).
  
  All Teammates – 5% off
  100+ points – 10% off
  500+ points – 15% off
  1000+ points – 20% off
  
  The rest of the rewards info is on our website:
