What other choice do we have?

It's going well.  

I am already paperless on every bill that allows it.

There’s not just one, just as there’s not just one action that will solve the environmental/climate crisis. But if o had to choose one, then it’s not disposable items, but treating people as if they are disposable.

This also helps me save money since many...
