Reflection QuestionFood Skip Plastic BagsHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Carrie Ireland 7/04/2022 11:44 AMI forgot my reusable bag this morning and almost went the the plastic bag. Luckily I was only purchasing a handful of items and decided to instead place the items unbagged in my vehicle and bag them with my reusable when I got home to get them out of the car. -
