    Wanting to do 2in1, I walked to the local hardware store to buy a new mechanism for a bathroom faucet, and on the way picked up trash.  I found so many plastic bottles, cans, masks, wipes and McD drink cups that I had to make a detour to the local park to empty my bag which I then filled again on the way home.  Lots of people said hi and were obviously intrigued.  Some told me that they picked up trash too!

    @Brenda Street, here is a locally made version of dry detergent options https://ec30clean.com/products/
    I did not mention this yesterday, but in my day job I work for P&G, and used to be responsible for package innovation so I know too much about plastics and global supply chains :-)
