I’ve been thinking about this especially as tariffs are set to make non-plastic even more expensive, and we’re going to see EVEN MORE products that traditionally were glass/aluminum become plastic…Not just from an ‘ecowarrior’ thing but micro/nanoplastic pollution, what are your tips to avoid plastic packages as it seems increasingly the ‘only’ option for so many products now… even 75% of veggies at my local super are plastic wrapped with no alternative!!! Yes, I use the bulk section… what other tips/hacks do you have, if any?
On spices - you’re right, I buy lots of stuff from bulk but I’ve been neglecting the spice section! I usually get the dry goods & snacks there… But yeah, you’re right it’s not getting any better. For what it’s worth - most of us in the US are just as horrified, I think… maybe I just live in a bubble, but uh, yeah, we’re aware that our country is collapsing in front of the world in real time and it’s embarrassing to say the least, horrifying more like. If only we hadn’t let all our absurd wealthy corpos & oligarchs loot and pillage our government… I’m grateful for lemmy where we can still chat as friends without algorithms, bots & ads! Cheers!
