Covid and Reusables

One of the most frustrating things about COVID-19 (you know, other than the disease itself) is the fact that we can't use reusables such as mugs, grocery bags and bulk containers. This is having a terrible impact on the waste reduction movement. We are trying to protect ourselves from a current crisis, only to be contributing to a possibly even more threatening crisis in the future.

Write to businesses you [want to] patronize regularly and let them know you want reusables back! Leave reviews! Call them out on social media! Let's not get through one emergency just to create another.

 

Do your best with what you have available. I may not be eating a lot of chocolate or drinking a lot of lattes right now, but self-care is important, however that looks to you! (I have spent a lot more time exercising. Hmmm... maybe this has been good for me...)
