Something to thing about

Called my mom in Germany to tell her about our life and mentioned our decision to go plastic free. She laughed and said that is what she always did. If she goes grocery shopping with her woven shopping basket, she goes to the bakery, the butcher and the produce stand. If needed, food gets packaged in paper. There is no plastic packaging.

I do have to put in quite some effort to make this happen. For her, it's a no-brainer.
