Just a reminder that just because you buy experiences or products that apparently are plastic free, that doesn't mean that those companies are particularly concerned about being wasteful, so you can easily be incredibly wasteful indirectly.
For example in a flower store I worked at we flew roses in from Kenya and all kinds of other shenanigans you wouldn't want to know, even though we were branded as green. Let's just say I know how to pack and unpack a lot of stuff quickly.
