Can we show the emissions from industries like plastics?
This.
Not for the sake of being green... but for the fact that plastic is a endocrine disruptor, we're phasing out all things plastic for glass as best we can.
Fk plastic.
This is such a difficult thing to do. Replaced baggies with reusable silicone. Use only glass or ceramic dishes. Use reusable bags at the grocery store. Got little reusable fruit and vegetable bags so I'm not using the disposable bags at the grocery.
But at the end of the day, goddamn every food or product I buy comes wrapped in plastic one way or the other, and there's little I can do about that.
i recently learned something fun, there's a way of polymerizing blood to turn it into plastic. I'm not sure if that fits in with the overall theme of this comment thread, or if it's relevant in any way. I just have to share that knowledge.
