July 31 at 11:27 AMI think the produce started amassing so much plastic packaging for the novelty and convenience. The packaging, in my opinion, serves the producer because at the end of the day, they produce the plastic and get paid for it. They're not invested in what happens to it once it gets in the hands of consumers. I see 3lbs of apples in plastic bags at...

July 31 at 11:10 AMWhat concerns me is the environmental injustice that is happening as a result of how humans, as a whole, are affecting the planet.

July 31 at 10:25 AMI had turned on a documentary during a slow period at a previous workplace and we learned about plastic pollution in the oceans and some of the main thoroughfares for how plastic enters these bodies of water.
