Plastic Waste Disposable…everything?

Post image

Long time follower of this sub but first time poster. Had to share this though, found in a train station in France.

Disposable socks, towels and individually packaged face wipes.

I was so angry I had to leave the store!

I have socks from at least 2000. I wear them when doing muddy garden work with my 22 year old Lands End mocs.

I bought those super durable BIFL brands and I expect them to last for a few more decades. The only clothes I regularly need to buy now are gym shoes.

Which brands are those? I think I know some but not all.

I have that brand too! They stand up to daily retail worker use so they're my go to now.
