REFLECTION QUESTION
Biodiversity + Wildlife Use Reusable BagsHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Milithza Silva 4/02/2024 8:06 PMI usually carry a reusable bag folded in my purse. The trouble is sometimes I know I'll do some shopping and make sure to bring along and sometimes, as I'm out and about or afterwork, I stop by a shop and if it was an unplanned shopping event I may not have the reusable bag with me.

Already invited some of my friends to join. Hope that my action encourage other members in the city to do their part to support Mother Earth
