  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    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? 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?

    Better Solution is to have a paper bags which are eco-friendly in your commute vehicles. If the Shops are not allowing, us to use the bag which we brought then its better to buy the Paper Bags from the shops even if its exclusive of the bills. Best remedy is to get select the shop which allows us to use our own bags.
