    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items, but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? What tips do you have for others who are trying to form a habit of using reusable bags?

    When I forget my bag, I only buy an amount of food that I can carry in my arms.

    What is your favorite local plant or animal species? Why is it important to support wildlife, even if it is in small ways, in the areas in which we live?

    I love pollinator gardens! Bees and flowers and butterflies... what is not to love. And they have such a positive impact for so many species.

    While one's plastic cutlery is a seemingly very small part of someone's "plastic impact", why do you think it's important for us to address this opportunity to reduce?

    Just to produce this plastic takes a lot of energy and if people stop using it perhaps they will start to produce less.

    How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people? What is your favorite meatless dish or recipe?

    Meat requires so much water to produce and the waste products that giant farms produce is poisonous to the land and water around them.

    I love cooking with beans and lentils.
