I'm fascinated by this. I think the desire to make the necessary lifestyle changes is there, but I question the practicality.
I want to have my foods and beverages untouched by plastics, but how realistic is this currently?
I want to buy bread that's not wrapped in plastic. Is the alternative really to make your own? Even then, can you ensure the ingredients you're sourcing for your own bread starter for example, also not contained in plastic?
Perhaps it isn't feasible to eliminate all plastics in your life, but it begs the question what is good enough to reverse this and it probably starts with what you're consuming.
If you are lucky enough to have a local small bakery near you, then they might use paper bags (mine does), or you can take your own bag. If you only have supermarkets, you can buy things like baguettes, Italian loaves, and sourdough from the deli area inside many supermarkets, and those sometimes come in paper bags, but you have to check whether the paper bag is lined with plastic.
Congrats Garry! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and views through content you put out. Thank you for also standing up for what you believe in and I share strongly in that sentiment.
As a HN lurker and YC fan, it's very exciting to see this. Bless up!
