I'm Far From Perfect

That's the plastic food storage collection at our house. Actually that's only the clean, not-in-use collection. It's 36 pieces sourced from actual Tupperware parties, discount stores, ice cream, Indian take-out, cheese purchases, and generous friends with leftovers. We all have this cabinet. Ours is actually two because I can't throw them out until they're un-usable. I'm posting this so you'll know that I'm not coming from some holier-than-thou place. Plastic is un-avoidable. Plastic is convenient. All I'm trying to say is let's slow down and think about each new piece of plastic coming into our lives. Where is it ultimately going? Is there an alternative? Do I need a 12-step program for plastics?
