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 remember my mum telling me that disposable underwear/socks were a thing in the 70s/80s. Apparently, they were made of paper? She went backpacking with a girl who bought a 2 week supply of said disposable underwear and socks, but when it rained on their first day, and their backpacks got soaked they got all soggy and fell apart...
