    Every now and then I still see products with "scrubbing beads" or "grit" or something in them. For the love of god don't buy those products. They contain micro-plastics and they are already everywhere and are next to impossible to filter out of water. Pretty scary when you start to look into it...

    Bought cookies in a cardboard box and not a plastic clamshell package. BOOM.

    Absent mindedly took a plastic bag the other day, but declined a plastic water bottle and picked up extra trash yesterday. That evens out, right?
