Love this example of *critical thinking* about REALITY when we're looking at environmental issues and searching for solutions... while respective human realities and dignity

[Jean Utzurrum @jean8rum]

Most Filipinos live in a "sachet economy" - unable to afford to buy at regular size or in bulk, or perhaps in living conditions with limited storage space. Goods are often repacked into small single use plastics. 1/2

@jean8rum Thank you for sharing! I actually had never really thought about that internalized mentality until this chat with Jom (#privilege!) - I learned a lot.
