For laundry, i wear basic stuff or second hand and buy 4x the amount I need so I can run a wash once every 2 or 3 weeks. As for dishes, learn to use a dish washer. have only 1 set of dishes that i wash every day so they stay in the washer. If this is too much then just get disposable stuff.
What if I'm too poor to afford a dishwasher and the space for 2/3 weeks of clothing?
Then you just get disposable stuff to eat on and rewear the same thing you wore 5 days in a row. So like how some of you here do now
Oh cool, the ones with the PFAs?
Do you use nonstick pans to cook food? What about shampoo/conditioner to wash your hair? Do you use laundry detergent to wash your clothes? Do you wipe your ass with toilet paper? All of these have PFAs. If your worry is that paper plates might have it, then your worries might be a little misguided considering you dont have enough money to buy a dishwasher.
How often would you say that you consume toilet paper, or anything on toilet paper? Why are you implying that minimizing the consumption of PFAs is a futile attempt, any attempt to minimize it should be a priority.
No what i meant was if you were so poor that you cant afford a dishwasher then PFAs are most likely not a concern of yours. Ask some africans or indigenous americans what they think of PFAs.
