REFLECTION QUESTION
Materials

What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

I am a huge coffee drinker and was always used to getting the plastic cups at Starbucks. So, I bought three reusable cups so that I can keep one in my car and the others at home. Aside from not using the Starbucks plastic cups anymore I am not using water bottles as well, and instead use my reusable cups for water. The cups were very inexpensive and I get 10 cents off every time I use them. Another plus is that I no longer use straws since it comes with a reusable straw as well.
