One of the benefits of my new hobby, is that single use plastic bags are slowly disappearing around me! I am not a purist by any measure. I spend about anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour a day either thinking about the environment or plastic picking. It is possible to do beach clean-ups zero-waste with gardening gloves and large plastic buckets. Maybe at some point I will get there. But right now I need to make it easy and part of my day. I also need to make sure I don’t get sick from picking up these items.
