@Lizzie great post! There is now so much focus on plastic, alternatives- and very interestingly, discovering products that contain plastics that you wouldn't think about....teabags are one. (the ones I am using atm cannot go in the food composting for that reason)
I buy jams and spreads in glass jars, I have a glass "tap water" bottle that I re-fill for guests in their bedroom.
I purchased miniture sets of shampoo/body wash/body lotions for each guest check-in, and I feel guilt every time I do a room turnover and put them out- the bottles are plastic 😞
I try and buy things from the supermarket fresh, rather than pre-chopped and packaged in plastic, and when I buy loose fruit and veg I put it straight in my basket rather than in a silly little plastic bag.
I suppose it's about everyone making changes as as much as possible, and considering the impact of what we do.
In the UK at least, and certainly living away from the coast means we don't have to see and live with the impact of all the wastage and damage we cause to the environment.
When I look in my recycling bin I do wonder how much of it will actually be recycled once it's collected....
