REFLECTION QUESTION
Materials

What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

I've followed in my Mom's footsteps...we buy heavy duty ziplocs and use them until their zipper doesn't close anymore. They're used over and over for things that need a bag and not a hard-sided container.

  We reuse ziplocs too! We test them by putting a little water/air in it and squeezing to see if they hold. When they're spent, they go in with the bread bags/grocery bags for plastic bag recycling (thanks Cub)!

Sorry team, slacked of on the eco-challenge this weekend. Went to Woodbury and drove everywhere. At least we were in our Prius.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?
Jean Turck 4/06/2018 10:50 AM
I would rather put money saved by not throwing food away toward - boring alert - savings.
