Hello my fellow ecofriendly people, more than ever the state of the world is really getting to me (like how the earth and many poor beautiful living creature are dying because of human consumption and humans don’t even taking a moment to see how much waste we produce 😞) I want to be as sustainable as possible. I don’t really know where to start, I’ve researched online and some businesses sell detergent or softener sheets but I’m a little skeptical about these products since I’m not sure if they are actually effective or just the website gives me a weird energy. I thought I’d get the opinion of people who actually have experience or know more about this than me, before I rush to give money to some random company who might not actually be helping the environment. Any advice would be helpful and appreciated thank you!

I signed up for composting service, meaning someone comes once a month to pick up your food scraps to make compost. They had an option to add on soft plastic recycling pick up as well for an annual fee so I figured why not and added it. My mom came over once and mentioned to me they very well could have taken my money and not recycled the soft plastic after picking it up. Was wondering if anyone knew how legit soft plastic recycling is or if it's basically a scam? I want to trust a company that's trying to make a difference for sustainability but you never know these days unfortunately
