  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    At Work Use Reusables at Work
    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?

    Because if everyone brought silverware from home, we would all make a much bigger impact.

      It is so much easier to have a spare set of cultery for outdoors, entertaining than using plastic. I return or turn down those given to me at "to - go" places, including straws.
