All of the plastic waste in the world outweighs all of the animals in the world by a factor of two.

This plagues me every time I go shopping. I can’t meaningfully reduce my plastic waste without using more gasoline to get products in multiple places to avoid plastic wrapped produce in one place and plastic jars instead of glass or cans in another. That’s no solution.

But this is largely not a problem that consumers can solve, and one that industry won’t. So what next?
