  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Buy Unpackaged Produce
    Why 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?

    It was interesting to get some new ideas! There were many things that I already try to do in my daily life but this month's challenge helped me really appreciate how there is always more : ) I didn't do a good job of checking things off each day on this website, but I definitely had the suggestions in mind and consolidated a bit for my final day to make up for some missed points.
