Summary
Plastic consumption and plastic pollution have skyrocketed during the pandemic because of the increase in the use of disposable gloves, masks, and gowns; online shopping, restaurant take-out; and the prohibition of reusable bags, cups, and containers.
What's a conscious consumer to do? Is it possible to reduce our plastic consumption when we're in the middle of a deadly pandemic? Can we still aspire to be low-waste or zero-waste (which was already aspirational in the best of times). Take a listen to this episode for tips on reducing your plastic consumption when it comes to:
- Restaurant Take-Out
- Grocery Shopping
- Hand Sanitizers
- Cleaning Products
- Ordering Online
- Properly Disposing Plastic Waste
Enjoy some ideas for what you can do at home and in your own life.
