Hmm yes. Not sure I'm ready for the internet trolls if I argue in favor of single use plastic! But you are right, it has created yet more (mostly maternal) domestic labor.

I am a person who actually does wash out her ziplocks etc, but I also fully understand that single use plastic saves lives. Full stop. There is no safe healthcare without single use plastic. Many folks with disabilities cannot live without single use plastic (like straws! another hot button). I would love our focus to be on better alternatives to single use plastic that are reasonable and affordable rather than blaming moms (as always) or putting more labor on them. Because there is a huge percentage of dads, I would guess, who would not even consider washing out a ziplock or reusable silicone bag. Systemic not individual solutions, always.
