> I think more effort should be made to reduce usage of plastics and re-use where necessary.

More specifically we need to change the narrative away from recycling and disposal being the consumer's responsibility. The package choices are not the consumers and if manufacturers are unwilling to shift towards reusable or responsible packaging then we need legislation and regulation to force the issue.

> I have gone plastic-free this January and it has been far more challenging than I thought.

I would not think that's even possible without making significant lifestyle changes. There are just basic things (e.g. Toilet paper) that I'm not even aware you can purchase without plastic packaging. Good luck with your journey.

I buy toilet paper from Who Gives A Crap: https://us.whogivesacrap.org/

The toilet paper is made from bamboo, and comes wrapped in paper in a cardboard box. They operate in USA, Australia, and the UK.

I almost had a spontaneous need for their product when I saw the price was $52; but then I clicked the image and discovered it was for 48 rolls.

Toilet paper as a veblen good? I have not seen that yet, but I bet it already exists.

No, it was my try at humor: I almost crapped my pants when I thought it cost $52 a roll.

I'll sell you one of their rolls for $52, if that'd make you feel better.
