REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal CareWhat has been your experience with switching to a plastic-free razor? Was there ever really a need for disposable razors?
Michelle Lewis 2/24/2026 9:06 AMThere is no need for disposable razors. Especially, if you do not share it with others. Everyone in my household has their own razor. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHow has buying bulk impacted the quality of the food you receive? Why do you think our society relies more on prepackaged foods rather than buying in bulk?
Michelle Lewis 2/13/2026 7:07 AMI often worry about contamination. But, keep giving it a try. Yes, we rely on packaged foods to avoid certain risks but in the end there are always risks with food. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodWhy do you think these products have so much plastic packaging? Who is the plastic packaging really serving -- the consumer, the producer, or someone else?
