REFLECTION QUESTION

Since the restrictions that COVID-19 has required of our society, trying to use your own cup might present new barriers, as well as new opportunities for creative problem solving. How were you able to achieve success on this action? How can you make it a long-term habit?

In the mornings I help cut down on using disposable cups by brewing my own cold brew coffee at home and using one of my many travel mugs. Even at work when I go to the food court I use my own reusable cup for soda so I can avoid using non-recyclable wax paper cups and straws. I make sure I always keep a reusable cup at my desk or in my locker for this purpose.
