WHAT I STILL BUY IN PLASTIC (busting myths about zero waste living, exposing my zero waste life)

This was such a fun video to make and I hope you enjoy me exposing myself as much as I did! While I do talk about how much plastic I buy still (I don't have access to a bulk store or zero waste store) I also talk about how it's okay to buy plastic still. There are no rules to zero waste living and no guidelines. What matters is that we are all trying our best to reduce waste in areas that we can! So, if you still produce plastic waste, don't you worry, I do too and so do other zero wasters, don't let them fool you by their aesthetics!
