Danielle Pickett 7/31/2019 5:33 PMI didn't do everything I wanted to, but learned a lot. I will continue to be mindful about plastics! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Buy Unpackaged ProduceWhy 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?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Skip the StrawHave you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.
Kathryn Jones 7/31/2019 5:25 PMNo plastic stares ever! Hope the city steps up to the challenge soon! -
Virginia Ludvik 7/31/2019 4:36 PMSo it is almost over. Points that is. I think we need to do what we can to make sure we continue . -
Connie Flores 7/31/2019 4:34 PMI made the effort to recycle our plastics, use my own Tupperware for take-home meals and (remembering) to bring the reusable sacks for groceries. Missed a couple times, but I think this doable -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Lobby for ReusablesWhat are some of the cases you could make to an employer for why switching to durable dishes and utensils is actually in their best interest as well?
Deb Cook 7/31/2019 3:52 PMInvesting in reusables can ultimately reduce an employers' overhead by reducing their out of pocket expenses on disposables, reduces amount of trash picked p each week and, personally, I feel that improving one's actions in one area can have a ripple effect in others. -
