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?
Patty O'Donnell 7/17/2019 1:53 PMI do use my share of single use plastic but reuse the bags for a very long time, and then recycle at my grocer. I use my reusabe items as much as possible. I will think about this more when I put things away. -
