    We utilize beeswax wraps and veggie fresh fridge bags. I really enjoy using the veggie bags because they keep the veg fresh so much longer!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Use Reusables at Work
    It 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?

    We watched “Minimalism: the documentary”.  I learned about how different people have managed to live minimalistic lives and ways to introduce that into my lifestyle. I found that it is important to question the value and purpose of objects that clutter our space.

    What are the benefits of hosting a house party related to getting to know your guests, connecting them to the cause you are focusing on, and building your community?

    We watched “Minimalism: the documentary”. I really enjoyed learning about other people’s experiences and hearing their points of view.
