My Relationship With Plastic is Complicated

I think it’s time for us to break up.

I seriously considered breaking up with Trader Joe’s the other day. I’m grateful that they’re taking steps toward change, but my favorite grocery store has that one red flag I’ve been trying to paint green (pun intended) for nearly 15 years. They still contract with companies that package produce and other products in plastic.
