Reflection Question
Community Estimate My Plastic Consumption

What did you find out about your plastic consumption by using the calculator? What did or didn't surprise you?

Shannon Rose 7/11/2022 9:41 AM

I have a long way to go to be plastic free and I expected that my sum would be higher. Instead, I was using much less plastic than the average American. However, most of the areas where I scored lower were due to my not using those products. I need to focus more on the items that I do house that have single use plastics.
