"When did we become a plastic society... Every bit of plastic that has been created still exists... Every day in the US, we throw out almost 88 tons of plastic... recycling is not a sustainable solution.... by refusing the use of disposable plastic you can improve the health of the ocean and the environment around us, including human health and animal health..."

The Weight We Carry (10 Photos)

https://streetartutopia.com/2025/11/25/the-weight-we-carry-2/

I decided to take a critical look at all my kitchenware. I've got rid of all the plastic utensils and bought replacements in either stainless steel or silicone.

I hope it helps me reduce my daily plastic intake, which although still not scientifically conclusive on the long term effects, is absolutely not healthy for the body.

I've also decided to never ever buy plastic bottles nor buy products in plastic bottles like water, soda's, olive oil, sauces ever again. 🙏🏻

"I’m angry with supermarkets – stop wrapping oranges! – and with governments. Consumers won’t just choose to sacrifice their convenience; reducing plastic use needs to become the easy (arguably only) option. “I always say structures need to come first,” Jaeger-Erben says. Miodownik agrees. “If the government were to say, ‘No, sorry, the environment is more important than your choice,’ I think people would grumble for a couple of years then they’d just get used to it.”"

-After all many of us can actually remember times when much of this stuff did NOT have plasti packaging. It is possible to live that way. Oh, and remember plastic bags as standard? -I hardly ever do. Habits well and truly changed by experience. It has to be systemic. Our individual choices are overwhelmed by others' (often corporate) choices not within our control.

Researchers have made a shocking discovery after testing popular seafood – and the results are deeply concerning. Many marine animals are ingesting plastic, mistaking it for food. Instead of breaking it down, the plastic remains in their systems or even gets absorbed into their tissues and muscles. This means plastic pollution isn't just harming ocean life – it could be making its way onto our plates too!
