Sad reality of our times.<p>We&#x27;re eating out less but our plastic household waste&#x2F;recycling has more than doubled due to all the plastic we get through food deliveries.<p>The market forces for better recyclable&#x2F;biodegradable packaging just aren&#x27;t there as plastic is so cheap to produce.

Would it be so hard to use less packaging on foods, especially snacks? It&#x27;s ridiculous, why does a brownie need 3 layers of packaging?<p>I only drink carbonated water, so I use one plastic bottle that&#x27;s always with me lol (I do throw them away after a week or so as they get dirty), but it would be nice if more people did that. Not really possible for soft drinks though.
