REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyle Travel ToiletriesWhat is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?
Chandler Rangel 7/01/2019 9:49 AMBar soaps have far less plastic waste. By refilling the containers I have already, I am also keeping those plastic containers out of the landfill. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusable UtensilsHow can you be an advocate for using resusables instead of disposables for the rest of your community? Where are they currently dependent on disposable cutlery, and how can you convince them of the need for change?
Chandler Rangel 7/01/2019 9:47 AMI can be an advocate by being proactive about using my reusables in public. Lead by example! So many restaurants are dependent on disposable cutlery. Most of them I don't think I would be able to convince them of the need for change. They either don't have the means to switch to reusables or lack the willingness to change. -
