milkman model (noun):
the cycle of packages being delivered, reclaimed, reprocessed, and reused for the same function
Hey! I'm Daniel Velez, and I'm an advocate for reuse and the milkman model. There is no good reason why we need to continue using frivolous single-use plastic for packaging everything when it isn't good for our planet, health, or wallets. There is a better way.
