I grew up in an era where plastics were not much of a thing. Glass jars were used for storage, produce was picked out individually in markets and paper was used to wrap breads etc. In the blink of an eye, plastic became the "miracle" product. Remember tupperware parties?

We have become so reliant on plastics that to this day (despite awareness of both the environmental and health impact) plastics are almost impossible to avoid. While most of us are taking measures to avoid plastics (especially single use), we have a long way to go.

This does not need to happen!
