Testing the Hypothesis

 Single use plastics are currently becoming more and more regulated, many grocery stores currently charge per bag used. It is a small cost and you can always buy reusable bags, however I fin myself forgetting my reusable bags all the time, even my mother struggles with this as well. 

• The who: Standard person who goes to the grocery store. 
• The what: Plastic bags are a waste and reusable bags are easily forgotten at home. 
• The why: Seeing as we were all using plastic bags just years ago, it is hard to break that habit.

3) Hypothesis: People often forget their reusable bags at home and resent the use of them as a result of this. This is a result of habit, as the new use of reusable and sustainable products is a fairly recent thing. If I were to make a system or product that helps break this habit or aid people who forget, this would be something people would take interest in.
