I can only buy a 1 kg bag of carrot and it's plastic. One kilogram of carrot is a huge amount for my dietary habits, and I need to throw away usually half of the carrot. Now multiply it by about ten for the different vegetables.

I sort my rubbish for what can be composted, is metal, what can be burned ecologically, and what must be thrown away. A normal household level of buying ingredients results in a mountain of plastic trash with no ecological way to dispose of it (other than landfills assuming the landfill is run properly, which they are where I live… but no way to guarantee it will stay that way for the next several hundred years). I won’t even get into the nightmare of plastic toys, one of which I found had dangerous levels of lead despite being a newish toy from a responsible source (Melissa & Doug), and I was unable to get any government agency interested in investigating further.
