If you want to get dizzy with anxiety, look around your house and count the number of objects that contain plastics. Look beyond food containers: your furniture and decorations, the electronics, the appliances, the carpet (stain free thanks to PFAS!), the yoga pants that make your butt look good, the vegan boots. It's in the building materials of the house, the garden hose, your mattress, your car and skateboard. It is EVERYWHERE. Most of it is nonrecycable, even if recycling were still a thing we were doing. We're not, it all ends up on the landfill, after taking a scenic detour to your local recycling facility that can't do anything with it because we were counting on China to take care of that and China said "fuck you". We can't go back to only using wood and cotton like on "little house on the prairie", there's not enough of them for the 7 billion of us. Better pray we evolve into a live form that thrives on microplastics.

So I have a question, we recycle our grocery bags as poop bags when we walk our dog or clean the litter box. What do you recommend? Are there biodegradable poop bags?

Has anyone seen the film The Devil We Know from 2018? Very scary!
