My Plastic Trash: Week 3

Here are the results of my second week cataloging and saving all my plastic waste. Despite the long list, it’s a big improvement over last week’s results.
2 newspaper bags 1 plastic bag from loaf of french bread 1 plastic packaging from crackers 1 Ziploc 1 plastic bag of walnuts plastic wrap from cheese 1 Soyjoy wrapper 1 fruit leather wrapper 1 Cliff bar wrapper 1 plastic case for razors 1 plastic spout, cap and pull tab from milk carton
My waste includes 5 plastic bags this week, down from a high of 19 the first week and 6 the second. The Cliff bar and fruit leather were purchased before the start of the challenge (the Soyjoy mango bar was a free sample and not very good). The most obvious ‘oops’ is the plastic bag for the French bread I bought at the farmer’s market. As I walked away, I almost slapped my forehead when I realized I’d grabbed a load wrapped in plastic.
