    I frequent restaurants that I can drink from regular glass and not disposable.  It is difficult to do so at fast food restaurants and take outs.  For take out options, I avoid drinks take out and I share a meal with family to reduce the waste.

    My hearing service dog is so awesome!  She wakes me up in the morning to my alarm clock, she alerts me to the door knocks, to the oven beeps, to the laundry beeps, etc.  When I am out in public, she helps me cue in to the noise around me :)

    With the added mindfulness of reducing your packaging, what have you noticed about the amount and type of single use plastics used for packaging when you shop in the grocery store?

    The grocery stores I shop at sell produce items without packaging.  I am not sure why one grocery store stopped using paper bags in the produce section.  I am seeing plastic bags.  I will bring my own small tote bags for produce items.
