Reflection QuestionOn-the-go Use A Reusable Mug or Collapsible CupGreat job on getting rid of your disposable cup habit! How does it make you feel? Are there any situations where you still struggle to use a reusable mug?
Jean Smidt 2/06/2023 6:34 AMI am glad to use a resuable cup and not a disposable cup. It is super that I proactively remember to bring a cup. If I don't have a cup in my car when I go somewhere to obtain a beverage, that is a chanllenge.
