Yall I hate to break it to you but sometimes disability isn’t the most eco-friendly sustainable practices 100% ethically sourced thing.
I have no idea where the metal in my leg is from. Or where all of the surgical instruments or medications i’ve taken are from.
I can guarantee the knee brace I rely on, my cane, my (future) wheelchair, etc aren’t made in the best ways either.
I use single-use things. KT tape for my joints, individually packaged things, etc. I would love to use something more sustainable but that’s not an option for me.
In an ideal world some of this stuff could be better (like sourcing materials in a more ethical way), but some stuff wouldn’t change (needing single use products). Stop holding disabled folks to impossibly high standards, especially ones that majority of ableds can’t even live up to.
