It was amazing to hear Bernie speak yesterday and to hear him address our nation's role in future of our planet 💚 #bernieinbrooklyn #climatechangeisreal (at Wnyc Transmitter Park)

WHAT the heck is this? A can of sardines packaged again in non recyclable plastic! This #overpackaged product is literally packaged twice :(

[over-packaged]

😭😭😭 #overpackaged produce kills me and it is so painfully common!

[over-packaged]

What the...??? 👀 Two donuts in a HUGE plastic container! Talk about #overpackaged

[over-packaged]

Packaging choices aren't just restricted to the grocery store! Package free options might just be in more places than you think! 👀 #overpackaged

Happy #wastelesswednesday! Gotta love a package free snack whose extra bits can be sent to the compost 👍🍉

Talk about #overpackaged! Individually wrapped crackers, cheese, and meat, packaged again in even more plastic 😱

Shrink wrapped cucumbers and mini ones on a tray and shrink wrapped 😫😫😫

Bulk is so so beautiful! Nothing #overpackaged here! (at Whole Foods Market Brooklyn)

Maybe the question is, what CAN'T you find sliced and diced and put on a styrofoam tray? #overpackaged

👋 no thanks! Three tomatoes on a cardboard tray wrapped in non recyclable plastic. #overpackaged

Sometimes this project does make me laugh. And cry. But also laugh. Even stuffed animals are #overpackaged

Apologies for the infrequent posting! It's been a busy few weeks. I wanted to make sure to share at least *something* for this #wastelesswednesday! Anyways here's a glimpse at my breakfast this morning: my OWN hard-boiled eggs (see past posts!) on package-free rye toast! Oh and with a little bit of cracked pepper on top. Egg shells of course are perfect for the compost :)

Check out these INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED papayas that @its_our_world_lets_save_it found! Each one is packaged in a styrofoam container, with paper underneath and with non recyclable plastic wrapping the whole container 😭 this is basically the definition of #overpackaged!

Get cling wrap out of the produce section! Definitely #overpackaged radicchio

[over-packaged]

All these individually wrapped candles! In plastic trays of course 😑

Still confused about this one! Here's another example of packaged hard boiled eggs. It's so simple to boil them yourself there is no need to waste more resources to buy them like this! #overpackaged
