  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Use Reusable Utensils
    How 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?

    I enjoy working in my community!  Very fulfilling to help out people that don't have the same skills I do and vice versa.
