I carry a large purse, so I have been just throwing the items in there if they fit. Otherwise I use a box from the store shelf and keep reusable bags in my car at all times.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? 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 establish this a successful habit?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhat do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?
Dana Cale 4/24/2019 12:35 PMI think we should focus on the negative effects of meat based diets and look more at the positive effects of plant proteins. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about 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?
Dana Cale 4/24/2019 12:33 PMThe challenge is remembering the cup and remembering to clean it out for the next day! I like to keep one in my bag at all times.
