We stopped buying single use plastic products. Here's what happened

Plastic is really bad for the environment. It takes 500 to 1000 years to degrade[1]. It affects marine life and litters our streets. Only around 10% of plastic is being recycled every year in the US. We are in Chicago. Everywhere we look, there's a piece of plastic stuck somewhere. We started an experiment to go plastic free grocery shopping for 1 month. These are our findings.
