Great topic Danielle! Sustainability is an especially important topic, not only in our work but in our daily lives. We must lead by example! Personally I keep a steel extra knife, spoon, and fork from home that I wash reuse for all my lunches. I bring a tumbler for coffee and water from home that ...
