As Plastic Free July gets underway, I want to set realistic expectations of what it's like to go "plastic free." My goal at Vessel Refillery is to make it easier for customers to make plastic-free choices; but in full disclosure, everything I do isn't plastic free. Some things just inherenty come in plastic. Then I get surprised when products arrive bubble wrap or another plastic packaging. While much of it is recyclable, that's not the ideal. I make changes in where I can, and reuse as much of the excess packaging as possible.
Instead of trying to live up to an impossible standard, make small and manageable changes to reduce your plastic footprint. Start with a cup of coffee!
