Being responsible off the chop would be nice. I just recently stopped buying a very popular brand of cookies because, for some fucking reason, they switched from cardboard to plastic packaging.
We’re constantly reacting to problems that we create(corporations, in this case) and it’s just getting so tiresome. We can just not do these things in the first place and we wouldn’t have nearly the same numeous, shitty problems we have right now.

I avoid so many things lately because of packaging!
My biggest pet peeve at the moment is milk. There are so many dairy farmers nearby, all single use plastic containers :( while the same companies would have yogurt in glass jars that they ask back from the consumer and reuse. Why the difference?!
I barely shop at normal supermarkets anymore, and I’m glad I’m able to eat the cost increase (~10% overall).

Wait wait, they’re not even using cartons?! What the fuck?!
I switched to oat millk a long time ago for the vast majority of my consumption(cereal, mostly) because it keeps way longer than regular milk and, as a bonus, the packaging is at least trying to be better for the environment.

It’s assinine. Milk tastes better out of the carton too. I miss it.

The cartons are lined with plastic too
