The stack of takeout containers from our weekly family movie night is getting out of hand.
Last Sunday, I cleaned up after our movie night and found a pile of plastic containers from takeout. We do this every week, and it hit me how much waste we make without thinking. Each container takes energy to make and ship, adding to carbon emissions. I talked to my kids about it, and they didn't realize the impact. Now, we're trying to cook at home more or use reusable dishes. It's a small change, but if every family did it, we could cut down a lot of pollution. I'm not saying stop movie nights, just be mindful of the trash. Let's make fun times better for the planet too.
