The burritos were spicy, and the conversation was jolly at a local Mexican joint on Saturday night. As friends and I began to discuss our strategies for getting through the upcoming no one-use plastic week, I looked at the table and realized we were in for a rough week. The hot sauce was in one-use containers, along with our waters and the carry-out containers I would have used if I hadn't gorged myself on that delicious bean burrito. Plastic has seeped into every nook and cranny in our lives. It's even more humbling to realize that every piece of plastic created remains on Earth. There's no getting around it, plastic is non biodegradable. And there's tons of it swirling around in the North Pacific Ocean right now! Check out the giant Pacific Garbage Patch. What are you going to do about it? Armed with my coffee mug and tupperware, I'm hoping to get through this week by using the least plastic EVER!
