  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    It is often true that we only have control over our own actions and not the collective community. How can you lead by example when it comes to switching disposables for reusable dishes in your community?

    I always keep my reusable utensils on site at work so I know I have it available. It's been extremely helpful to reduce the need for plastic or compostable forks or spoons!
