This week I was asked to justify a plastic bottles recycling programme - using Life Cycle Analysis. This got me thinking about recycling in general. (You should note that I generally say no to plastic bottles) In TnT we have to ship a lot of our recyclable material abroad for further processing. This leads me to my point - why can't we just say no to plastic?
Here are some ideas I have put together so far.
1. Cook. Simple, nutritious and economical. And remember to use cook extra and take to work in glass containers. And of course the ingredients should be local produce purchased at the market
2. Go vintage. See my previous posts on this
3. Bring your own reusable bag to the supermarket and market
4. Say no to free giveaways. Who needs another plastic bottle opener?
5. If you are a foodie (I am not) consider making your own condiments (jams, pickles, hummus etc)
6. Flea-market, garage sales etc where you can buy, you guessed it, VINTAGE!
