REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Use Reusables at Work

It is often true that we only have control over our own actions and not the collective community. How can you lead by example when it comes to switching disposables for reusable dishes in your community?

Marie Thomas 7/03/2019 7:26 AM

If i can educate my community on the importance of using reusable dishes then maybe it will allow them to see things from a different perspective and they will be more willing to try it.

How does buying used differ from buying new? How does each purchasing decision make you feel?

Marie Thomas 7/02/2019 6:26 AM

Buying used saves alot of money and the items are no different than buying new so it makes more sense to just buy used. I feel good when doing this because the extra money can be saved for something else
