    The sheer amount of plastic that goes in the trash any time I take a trip to the grocery story

    Do people not recycle plastics in your country?

      If you think ‘recycling’ plastic does a damn thing, you need to do some reading. It’s a sham for corporations to trick you into thinking your plastic waste gets reused. It doesn’t.

      These plastics are single-use. The vast majority of plastic I come across in my groceries is destined for the garbage, not the recycle.
