Danica Sheridan 7/04/2019 6:48 PMI tried to make a waste free dinner and found it was so very difficult! i dont believe i ever truly -saw- all the plastic until trying to shop at the grocery for a waste free dinner. the resources in my town are not as unlimited as that in the larger city nearby so i had to make an allowance for my protein which was packaged in plastic, however the butcher offered to rewrap it in paper for me. I will keep at it and see what research I can do into my local resources for a better option next time!
