Waste

Reduce Single-Use Disposables

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

    So far daily meals haven't been that hard to replace especially when I eat in my room or at Whitney. This becomes harder with snacks I eat or going out to eat, many restaurants automatically give you plastic for single use.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What did you substitute or could be substituted instead?

    I typically use cups and plastic bags that are single-use particularly when I order food or drinks and they will come in disposable containers that I will only use once. I could instead order things and ask if they could use my own containers or order to eat in instead of to go and put my food in those containers. I could also start going to places that prioritize using your own cup or container.
