I'll admit, I'm not off to a great start. Sure I didn't purchase any single-use plastic, but I also didn't do any shopping. I did eat a microwave meal and all the packaging for that was single-use. The worst part was, I didn't even think about it until I threw it away. I grabbed what I had to eat during my break at work, warmed it up and enjoyed every bite of it, without once thinking about how I was throwing my goals out the window immediately. Since then, I haven't been able to come up with a really good alternative to this meal. With only a half hour to feed myself, I don't have many options to start with. I need something quick and easy, which usually means a sandwich, leftovers, or a microwave meal. I can't think of a single microwave meal that is plastic free. Anyone know of any?
I could switch to sandwiches and leftovers instead. I might have to start cooking up meals just to have easy microwaveable leftovers for my break. UGH that sounds like so much work!!!
Oh, and I completely chickened out on abusing my power at work to get my cashiers to offer reusable bags. I got a little bit better yesterday. I mentioned to them how awesome it is that BB&B is donating a dollar for every bag bought, and I told them it would make me really happy if they offered but, I didn't badger or bully them. I only told a select few about the program, too. I did get one of the eight or so customers I rang up to buy a bag, though. That was one small step in the right direction, I suppose.
