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?

Jimmy Yeap 9/25/2020 2:37 AM

I will not buy the item. Instead will go back to my car to get the recycle bags. If there are any bags that I end up taking, it will be recycled at home as garbage bags.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy Turn It Off

How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?

Jimmy Yeap 9/25/2020 2:33 AM

95% of Singapore's electricity is still generated by natural gas which is petroleum based. The government should increase the use of solar/wind as a renewable source of energy over time to reduce the environment impacts.
