Summer [shorter beard] Santa's back!

it's hard to avoid, manufactures and packaging on the industry side has to change! ...most of the packaging of cheeses and other food products are single plastic use so even if I avoid the grocery store bags and bring my own still producing a lot of single use plastic waste. =(

today

I was just saying to my husband the other day that my sister and her family and my mom are singlehandedly destroying the environment with their use of plastic straws!

I can easily avoid using plastic straws and plastic grocery bags, but avoiding other single use plastic is more difficult. I don't buy single serve water bottles, but since my local water has been contaminated by GenX, not to mention loaded with fluoride and chlorine, I buy bottled water in gallon size bottles. I also buy some soda. My favorite soda was in glass bottles, but it has disappeared from my stores so that's not an option any more, sadly. But it's not just drink bottles that are in single use plastic - how about ketchup, mustard, mayo, cooking oil, salad dressing, etc., etc., etc. It is difficult to avoid all single use plastic and gets harder every day as more and more companies switch from glass to plastic. I reuse glass; I do not reuse plastic for the most part.
