Trying to ditch plastic at a picnic led to the funniest misunderstanding

I was at a community picnic and brought my own utensils to avoid single-use plastic. My cousin saw my kit and thought I was just being picky about food. I laughed and said it helps cut down on trash that hurts the planet. We ended up joking about it, but then others joined in to share their own tips. Now a few people from the group are trying to use less plastic too. It was a silly start, but it turned into a real chat about small changes.
