I’ve been taking pictures of any plastic I’m acquiring each day. Some gets reused, some has to be thrown away. We’re on a road trip at the moment, which skews this experiment slightly. If I were home, I’d be acquiring fewer plastic lids and water bottles, but more packaging.
I’m starting to carry small paper bags with me to the grocery store so I can get mushrooms and other small vegetables without plastic packaging. Most grocery stores don’t have paper bags in the produce section any more.
At the Dairy Queen somewhere west of Cleveland. I might reuse these items, at least the spoon, if we were at home.
At the Hampton Inn in Lorain, Ohio. They don't provide glass water glasses any more. We threw these away.
McDonald's on the New York State Thruway. B's coffee came in a paper cup. Thrown away.
We ate lunch at Subway. I didn't think ahead of time to tell them we didn't want the plastic bag. Also, there was no water spigot on the soda machine, so we had to buy water. I'm still using the water bottle, and the plastic bag is now the car trash bag.
I bought cookies for the trip. Is cellophane plastic? Not reusable, at least not as a travel item.
At the Pawtucket Red Sox ball park, you can't take in your own water bottle. I'll reuse this.
Not good to reuse those plastic bottles too much. Do not freeze with water in them etc. they can leech. buy a stainless water bottle . I know its so silly that some places only have water in bottles. insulting. i like your photo essay.
