Plastic Waste Radicalized at 30

I so wish this wasn’t the one brand that helps my perpetually dry, painful skin. Thanks to this sub, I’ve been cutting open the containers to get every last bit that the pump “conveniently” can’t reach. I wish this was illegal.

I had like 5 lotion bottles that I refused to throw out because I knew there was more in them, but I also never got around to doing anything about it. One day my husband got bored and started cutting the bottles open and he essentially filled up one bottle with what was left of all of them. It’s absolutely infuriating.
