  • 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 low-waste or reusable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable? Are there any items where it would be difficult to avoid plastic waste?

    Most of my plastic waste comes from ordering food. I try to reuse the plastic in those cases. We also buy a lot of single-use snacks for the kids to bring to school and activities. That is our biggest plastic waste.

    What did you find out about your plastic consumption by using the calculator? What did or didn't surprise you?

    I actually use less than most, which didn't surprise me. I try to avoid many of the products that came up.
