Long-time lurker here and this is my first post. For the last couple of years, my husband and I have been trying to reduce the amount of single-use plastic in our lives. We've stopped buying bottled water, buy fruit from the local greengrocers to cut down on packaging, take a ceramic coffee cup to the café, you know how it goes.
Now that we're thinking about having a family, AIBU to be horrified by the amount of single-use plastic floating around? Why do pregnancy and ovulation tests have to come in plastic casings? Just how much packaging is really necessary for a few vitamin pills?
Wow.
