The Question

In a restaurant, at a grocery store, a festival, you name it, the best thing you can do if you get a piece of waste is hand it back to the person and ask if they'll reuse it.

Especially useful for:

• The napkin at your place setting

• A bag someone thought you wanted

• A plasticware packet on a plane, for instance

We love it because it's a low-pressure, non-judgy way to reinforce a reuse ethic socially.
