I really liked your post friend, I agree with you a lot, we must be a little more aware of what we do for us and our planet. Today much more than before in Venezuela, as the friend @jadams2k18 says, we have learned, albeit badly, to give value to things that we thought were unnecessary, today I believe that everyone brings food to work and reuses all possible materials.

It is not like before, because only for school activities, I was one that did a lot, bought full sheets of bond paper, cold paints, tempera and markers. Nowadays it is no longer the case, because we reuse the leaves that are discarded in companies or banking institutions, the paintings are already very well saved to be reused and in this way we save money and help the planet with the least waste production possible.
The plastic pots have been turned into ornaments, in pots or any other things for which someone has made a profit.

Thanks friend @crypto.piotr for the link.
