    One of the most frustrating things to me is that there’s so much stuff that doesn’t need to be made of plastic, but is. Stuff like the handle on a food strainer is made of plastic, but can easily instead be made of metal, rubber, or wood/bamboo. Save the plastic for stuff that actually needs it, like sealing foods that would otherwise spoil immediately or leak through something. Hell, glass is an alternative for a lot of stuff, if we actually bought in bulk and had refill stations for stuff like milk, juice, soap, shampoo, detergents, oils (food and automotive), etc.

    So much stuff is made out of single use plastics that just…doesn’t need to be.
