Jessica's actions
Food
Visit the Butcher
I will purchase meats and cheeses from the deli counter or a butcher shop, and use my own containers to do so.
Food
Use Reusable Bags
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

Pet Waste
I will spend 15 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

Jessica Zahn 7/15/2019 12:29 PMI tried to BYO container to the deli counter and Whole Foods was not having it. I've run into this before as a health code issue. The butcher was very nice about it, but was firm about her rules.-
Courtney Groszhans 7/18/2019 5:41 PMHmmm, I wonder if they could technically hand you the sandwich and/meats on a piece of Deli Wrap paper that you could then put in your container? From what I have heard at Starbucks is that they can't personally handle the container. I wonder if we could call the health department ourselves and ask what is the policy on BYO containers (a lot of people at places could be misinformed). -
Joe Walter 7/15/2019 12:46 PMThat is a great idea, too bad they would not allow. Nice effort!!
