REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodDo an inventory of your kitchen to see how many single-use plastics you've used in the past. What are some resuable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable?

Hanson 7/12/2022 5:32 AMCarry a thermos instead of ever buying bottled water; buy products packaged in glass, not plastic, whenever possible, and re-use the jars to store leftovers, &c; use cloth bags for bulk items like vegetables & fruit, or re-use the plastic bags that come off the grocery store roll.
