  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    Do 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?

      It's hard to keep all plastics out - especially when the sandwich was made for you.  The cool thing is that you are mindful about it!
