REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use a Reusable Mug

Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

Using a reusable coffee cup is good for the environment. Some people may find it difficult to switch because of the cost and because you have to carry your cup around with you for the entire day.

Waste Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands?

One thing my family does to avoid using plastic bags is to use reusable bags. Every time my mom goes grocery shopping she uses the reusable bags instead of the plastic bags.
