Even MORE hidden plastic in our everyday lives

That's right, we're back with part two of hidden plastic! Now, this isn't to scare anyone, rather it's to prove that no matter how hard you try to be perfect, you can't. The most perfect zero wasters still use plastic and you will too and that's okay. Big Oil is to blame, not you! So, don't forget that though these 20+ items that contain hidden plastic, you can still live zero waste while using plastic. How do you live low waste?
