REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & Ecosystems Reduce Single-Use PlasticsWhat plastic or single-use items do you regularly use? What did you substitute or could be substituted?
Larry Wiltzius 4/07/2022 9:52 AMFood packages are a major one, meat, snacks, and ingredients, all come in plastic. Bottles for soda and water are probably what I use second-most. Then packaging for other things like bubble wrap when you buy anything from the store other than the food comes in some sort of packaging.-
Jenny Loehr 4/07/2022 12:04 PMWhat could you do to try and substitute single use packages? For example, instead of buying single packs of goldfish crackers, you would buy in bulk and then pour some into a reuseable container.
