Thanks! Yes it’s unfortunate that so many things come in plastic containers (especially if they aren’t recyclable). We don’t use many anymore though as we prepare most food ourselves and we’ve either substituted plastic with glass alternatives or just stopped buying certain products. It’s good to see some movement back to other more sustainable materials (e.g. glass milk bottles). Recycling is not the solution to waste we once thought however, particularly when it comes to plastic (I wrote an earlier article on that), so in our household we’re actually trying to reduce our recycling as well as our waste.

Yes I’m familiar with those bags — great that it’s lasted you so long!
