Plastics have become part and parcel of our daily routines, our day-to-day purchases, and in the air we breathe and water we drink.

I’ve found myself wondering how recycled products will be recycled as well as how to become more aware of the plastics I generally purchase without any concern of where these containers go after I toss them in the recycle bin.

Does anyone else find a bit of disconnect in the choice to implement a plant-based diet motivated by concerns of sustainability and a cupboard of plastic containers of organic super foods and veggie foods?

Is there a means to explore how to recycle pill bottles…plant-based containers…supplements, electronics, clothing, appliances, etc. other than tossing them into the oceans and backyards of other countries?
