Over my Thanksgiving break, I went home to Green Bay, Wisconsin. Throughout my break, I visited many family members and friends within the state; therefore, I was not home very often except for family functions and dinners. With this project to keep track of my plastics and the plastic of the people around me, I thought I would obtain more than what I did.
However, my first day of observing our plastic usage was spent at home for an evening with the rest of the day out shopping with my friend, Brennan.
While I was home, I noticed the snacks my father was eating had been wrapped in a plastic coating/container. These included beer dip, chips, bread, peanut butter and jelly, and leftovers from thanksgiving in a Tupperware container. Majority of the store bought snack-food items around my house are somehow intertwined with a plastic whether it be their container, wrapping, or how they got to my house within a plastic bag.
