Brought my own bags to the grocery store for a month, then realized I'd been grabbing new ones anyway
I was so proud of myself for remembering my reusable bags every trip, but last week I noticed I'd been taking new plastic produce bags for my apples and onions like it was nothing. The 5 bags I avoided didn't cancel out the 30 produce ones I used. Anyone else feel like they're missing the small stuff in the sustainability mindset?

Produce bags are a thing though. Some stores let you skip them or use mesh ones, but yeah, it's easy to forget the small stuff when you're just grabbing and going.

Right, but all those produce bags really add up. It's wild how we can be on top of one thing and completely miss the other stuff that's right in front of us. Maybe focusing on just one new habit at a time makes more sense than trying to be perfect at everything.
