  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    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?

    This concept of one spoon at a time reminds me of the starfish story (if you don't know it, look it up). It may appear from the outside that you are not making an impact, but in fact, you are. Every little bit counts. We know ourselves when we make even the slightest impact :)
