and I thought we did a good job on our impact :( still very eye opening!

I learned that our consumption of plastic is alarmingly high. To reduce my plastic use, I'll prioritize reusable alternatives, minimize single-use plastic purchases, and support businesses that prioritize eco-friendly packaging like co-ops, "refill" stores, and others.
