Plastics are killing me...
Plastics are killing me (well us)! I’ll admit, I was one of those wishful recyclers, I probably alone am responsible for China not buying our plastics...sorry. I adjusted my recycling habits, but every time I threw away a lid or a spray pump I had to actively fight to NOT put it in the recycling, I mean come on, it’s plastic just shaped differently right?!. I was visiting my cousin in Leipzig Germany and they have this shop, “Einfach Unverpackt” (Simply Unpackaged), wow...blew my mind. Why doesn't PDX have something like this???? We have bulk food options but no bulk cleaning and body supplies. I was seeing more online subscription based companies, offering refills in recyclable or even biodegradable containers, that’s super, but what about all the shipping to individual households? Ok, so I am a neurological physical therapist, I have never wanted to be a boss, or own a business. I am completely happy being the boots on the ground. This idea spoke to me however, and somehow I felt ready to learn and grow. Let’s do this!
