REFLECTION QUESTIONFamily Provide the AlternativesWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) does your family regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Stacia Pieroni 7/09/2019 2:42 PMReflection Question: My family is doing really well with avoiding single-use plastics. However, I struggle to remember to sometimes put the reusable straws back in my purse after washing them... With two under the age of 5, the still require a lid and straw we go out to eat. I just bought an extra six straws so hopefully, I will not be caught without one anymore. -
