While i was going grocery shopping the other day, i was paying closer attention to food that comes in big plastic containers. So i decided to make a list of products i will eather avoid or buy less any longer. Here they are:
- Juiceboxes: Buy bigger containers and refill your kids waterbottles (like Sigg) instead of juiceboxes.
- Prepacked salads: If it has to be prepacked for you, buy the ones in plasticbags, not in the hard plastic boxes (like boston lettuce)
- Orange juices: Buy only in cartons, not in plastic.
- Eggs: Paper, paper, paper. If your grocery market allows, reuse them (Very popular in germany at the weekly farmers market).
- plastic bags for produce: If you have only two lemons or one avocado, skip the bag!
Another thing i wanted to mention is the use of a compost. There is space in every garden for a compost. If you are afraid it will stink (it doesnt if you follow some simple steps), just buy a plastic one you can close tight. Here are the pros of a compost:
- Your own organic soil for your vegetables and flowers
- Less trash that starts to stink on humid summer days
- You safe tax money for reducing trash - with less and less regular trash your town hall doesnt have to encrease your taxes
