  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Wildlife 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? 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?

    Good question. After forgetting to take my bags and having only one already in the car I loaded up my groceries in the cart and then into my trunk where they rolled around all the way home 😬.   Usually they’re in my car at all times.
