We use way too much

March23

I realized fairly recently that we use a terribly huge amount of plastic in our daily life.

When I was in training for 2 weeks, we had lunch packed for us every day. After lunch, I’d see the garbage bin piled full of either the styrofoam containers or those plastic mircrowaveable containers.

Same went for the past 2 weeks when we had to work late and packed our lunches and dinners. All that plastic! Gawd! And there were like, 10-15 of us… all that amount of plastic for this handful of us.

I couldn’t stand the sight of all that plastic being dumped in our landfills so I took whatever I could and brought it back to our recycling bins here.

From now on, I resolve to try to recycle as much as I can (even more than what I normally do), and bring a reusable container along with me so I can use it to pack my food if I need to instead of using those styrofoam packs.

And also, to buy stuff with the least packaging material as possible. Have you noticed how much packaging is used in just a small item?! Especially those mini pack snacks and candies. Sure, it’s convenient but there’s just so much plastic used!
