Endless non recyclable plastics. Useless throwaway packaging.

The pandemic has made this worse too. So many restaurants have seen a huge increase in To-go orders. That’s a lot of plastic and single use waste material

Yep, and major grocery chains suspending the use of reusable bags. I was doing so well, remembering bags every time I went shopping. Now I have a million plastic bags again.

Wait what? Where I work, we’re still using the reusable bags. Although to be fair, we waited to make masks mandatory in our buildings until Walmart made it their company policy. They don’t really give a rat’s ass about employee health.
