    My challenge is going well. I'm being extra mindful about my plastic use and of those around me!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Cook a Zero-Plastic Waste Meal
    Do an inventory of your kitchen to see how many single-use plastics you've used in the past. What are some resuable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable?

    Seran wrap -- bees wax wraps
    Plastic Ziploc bags -- Tupperware

    There would be a huge impact because there are a lot of single use plastics in the kitchen
