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?
Michelle Russell 7/02/2019 11:52 AMI placed a knife, fork, and spoon in my car. This way it's never too far away. -
