While I can’t speak to the anxiety over plastic exposure part, when it comes to usage and pollution the one thing I constantly tell myself (especially as someone who works in public policy) is that the largest polluters – petrochemical companies, manufacturing, etc – LOVE that we obsess over our individual “carbon footprint”. Shifting the responsibility from them to us as individuals allows these corporations who contribute the VAST majority of pollutants into our environment allows them to shift the blame to us. A way to combat the mom guilt over this would be to reach out to a local or state group doing environmental policy work. Find out what their top concerns are, and start emailing your local and state elected officials about structural change!
