    Avoid throwing sanitary towels, tampons and wet towels into the toilet. Incredible but true, many people still think the toilett is absorbing anything and everything!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    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? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

    In the case I accidentally don't have one reusable bag with me, I accept a disposable one, but re-use it until it is not usable anymore (re-use it for another visit to the market for example). When possible, reduce the use of plastic bags by using reusable ones. When not possible, re-use the the plastic bag you get.
