PLEASE ADD YOUR PLASTIC FRUSTRATIONS IM CURIOUS

Things that come in plastic for absolutely No Real Reason, which frustrate me everytime I do my shopping:

Shampoo and soap refills

Dry cat food

Milk

Yogurth

Fruits and vegs? Leave the celery and cauliflower alone!?

The Extra Package around the toothpast. Maybe they haven´t noticed but it is already inside a package

Toilet and kitchen paper

Juices and sodas. Any large drink bottles really

Small rice, pasta, couscous....cardboard or refillable is perfectly usable

Nuts and dried fruits

Cookies packaged seperately. Sometimes I want 4, sometimes 6. Now I gotta open 1and a half tiny cookie package.

Most of this is stuff I buy regularly and if they were just sold differently I would have so much less plastic. And I know about shampoo bars (but I need a specific type of shampoo no matter how nice the shea butter magnolia bar smells), no-packaging shops (but there are none nearby), farmer markets (mine is small and even there some produce is packaged), etc. I found one spot near my work that sells milk in glass bottles but I just think it shouldn´t be so hard.

#also i dont think we need a seperate green less plastic bla bla consumer market but just a shift in the regular market space #also also i have worked in a supermarket and they can do absolutely nothing about it #sometimes there were activist asking all the plastic packing on the parking lot and dropping it at the door as a protest but all they did is #give overworked people more work and plastic blowing in the wind #congrats you made it worse #plastic waste #frustrations #consumerism #capitalism
