REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodWhy do you think these produce products started amassing so much plastic packaging? Who is the plastic packaging really serving -- the consumer, the producer, or someone else?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?

Catherine Sabljak 7/04/2019 6:46 AMIts great knowing that I am keeping plastic out of the landfill, my entire family now uses refillable water bottles and we no longer purchase cases of water.
