So. We meet again….(Week 4)

Final week has passed. I am officially burned out.

So after 4 weeks of having to avidly avoid single use plastics of all kind from literally everywhere I wanted to simply do the the following:

But after crawling out from under my blankets and realizing I still had to go shopping for food I died a little more inside as I would have to basically avoid everything in the market as it was all partly or completely encased in single-use plastic.

As my last week progressed slowly but surely I found myself finally continuing with ease. I recognized what products I should avoid more often and began to decrease my consumption (not literally) of single use plastics and thus lowering my total amount used per week. Thus Friday rolled around and I was relieved to know said fact as it had been unrelenting, the amount of work for one shopping trip. Also with my weekends being generally out and about, I brought around my personal water bottle and packed snacks. But in conclusion, I do not think I will avidly continue this lifestyle however I will do my best to maintain a healthy usage of these dangers to natural process.

So my question is, what will you the reader do? Will you continue the rampant path of global pollution or stray from it to help our home? I leave it in your hands, but until next time. DOT Completed! :)
