REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Abbigail Kerstetter 4/11/2023 6:40 AMI think that sometimes the convenience of just drinking the coffee and throwing the cup away is what gets people.
