[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being alive is going to cause a footprint. What needs to happen is corporations need to change their ways. You can be zero waste and companies are still cranking out tons of plastic we don't want or need.  Slowly we are catching on as a group. Only after seeing straws stuck up a turtle's nose has there been a movement to get rid of plastic straws. We need to go back to simpler ways. Every food item is individually wrapped. Every time a human eats something, multiple times a day, times 7.7 billion people, is how many billions or infinity pieces of plastic that are piling up. We would need to go back to an agrarian society where everyone makes their own food, but people are enslaved by corporations.  Corporations force people to put time in at a job and then they can't feed themselves without buying food in a store encased in plastic. It's f-ed up. Humans are really smart, and even more so really stupid.[/quote]

We are trying to be a zero plastic waste household. I carry silverware with me for lunches out where they give plastic forks, etc. But we need companies to reduce single use plastic and to be responsible for their own waste.  The oceans are full of plastic. We can skip the produce bag, always bring reusables grocery bags to the store, stop using and buying ziplocs and baggies. Would you stop using ziplocs to help your kids have less plastic in the their oceans in the future?[/quote]

A better choice would be to never fly again and always take the bus or train to work.  Not using plastic cutlery isn’t going to make a huge difference and is just easy for you to donso you do it.  But for environmentalists to stop flying?  Now that would change things!

Of course not flying would change things more significantly. But...we do what we can. Some things cannot be avoided. Flying is one of them. I have to fly to be employed and to see my ill and aging parents.

I DON'T HAVE to use plastic forks or eat meat or use a gas mower or over consume.

We do what we can.[/quote]
