Clear filtersA lot of the plastic and scent we meet happens away from home. Paper coffee cups are lined with plastic that a hot drink can make shed, and thin produce bags can’t go in household recycling bins. The car is a small, closed space: scented air fresheners give off chemicals that aren’t on the label, and a hot cabin raises the flame retardants in the air. These swaps are a few long-lasting things: a steel travel mug, washable cotton produce bags, charcoal instead of a scented freshener, and a windshield shade with fresh air for the first minutes of a drive.
Several on-the-go swaps in one Amazon cart.
