It's definitely hard but Chicago has a law where you need to pay a few cents for bags, which I find it super motivational!

Katerina Popova 7/02/2019 2:25 PMA few months ago I purchased KeepCup that is specifically designed for baristas, so now I can have my lattes saving the environment and not sacrificing latte art :) -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHave you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.
Katerina Popova 7/01/2019 3:49 PMYes! A lot of local Chicago and NYC coffee shops started selling reusable straws for convenience. In case I forgot one when I travel, I know I can easily go and buy one.
