We can all do with less plastic in our lives; I have made a conscious effort in the last few years to do with less plastic. In many cases, I have replaced plastic with paper, such as old-fashioned brown paper bags. I also use bamboo cutlery for picnics. Yes, not as convenient, but I do so to help reduce the use of all forms of plastic.
This is a good solution, Jack. Whatever works. Here in Canada, stores have eliminated tbe use of plastic shopping bags. We bring our own cloth shopping bags (or brown paper bags).
I am, like others, stunned that this environmental incident even happened! I have become rather obsessed with reducing plastic. It takes effort but it’s totally worth it.
How funny for this to come up on my feed! I recently read an article about how LEGO is working on making their bricks from recycled or renewable materials by 2026, which is a good start! It’s a bummer it didn’t happen before the spill but I’m glad they’re putting effort into doing better!
How fascinating that this topic came up for the both of us at this time! It's great to hear that LEGO is taking significant steps towards sustainability by planning to use recycled or renewable materials for their bricks by 2026. While it's unfortunate that such measures weren't in place before the infamous spill, it's encouraging to see the company making strides to improve. Thanks for sharing the article link—it's always good to stay informed about these positive changes!

100 percent agree with you. It’s going to take a conscious effort on every individual’s part.

Indeed, every little bit makes a big difference.

I hadn’t heard of this.
I had no idea.
