Plastic is such a fucking disease. There are so few items you can buy in a supermarket that aren’t somehow covered in it. I get it, it’s super convenient. Which is why as long as it’s legal, the situation won’t change.
I think heavy taxes on plastic could change the situation; if plastic packaging isn’t economically viable, alternatives will be used.
This would be totally unpopular I’m sure, so it will probably won’t come before climate change killed us.
I hate it so much. I can’t buy shit without plastic.
They should just take a deposit for reusable ceramic, glass, or metal containers. If you want to keep it, keep it; if it is fine, you just return it and get your deposit. They can be sanitized.
In bakeries, deli, and butcher sections in supermarkets, everything is plastic.
Everything is wrapped in plastic now when it wasn’t like it 30 years ago. I think the side-effects of microplastics are going to affect every child alive today for life.
I was so happy that a lot of places were banning plastic during the pandemic. The large trend only lasted a year in my country, but at least some businesses have dropped plastic bags altogether. Small wins?

I miss butchers using butcher paper. It was perfectly good.
