Just this afternoon my son and I were talking about this very thing. He suggested making some cloth bags to be used for buying items in bulk, like dry beans and rice, wheat, oats and flours. That is a worthwhile project and we have a few stores in our area that sell bulk bin items.

It's alarming to think how much goop we have clogging up our bodies and to then think we are simply shoveling it in to our kids....well, that's tragic.

Yes, you can make them, or buy them. I use Tupperware which I won't buy anymore, or the fabric bags that are resused at an organic store that sells things in bulk. Way to go on the change ;)

Tupperware was always a staple in our home as well and I inherited a large quantity from my mother. I remember they used to have Tupperware parties held in each others homes lol. Funny, I hadn't thought of that in years :)

That is so worry this is what the climate revolution should be focusing on in my opinion 💯🐒

This is a major factor being focused on in the climate change movement. The biggest target is also the fossil fuel companies who are a key factor in the plastic industries. There is no single issue to be focused on when dealing with climate change and pollution. There are many lanes that are being covering.
