Need A Really Easy & Effective Resolution?
I suggest that anyone in need of a new years resolution should try reducing their plastic trash by just one piece. Perhaps say no to straws in drinks, maybe buy, (and remember to use), some reusable produce bags or find a milkman with refillable glass bottles. This has to be the easiest New Years resolution ever. And so effective. Immediately you are making the world a cleaner place! Just think if every one of Britain’s 64.1 million people did this!
This year I will be helping by regularly posting tips in the above group and on Twitter. If you don’t already, you can follow us on there and on twitter @plasticSrubbish.
Waxy Cheese
Buying plastic free cheese is not so easy. But waxed cheeses are becoming more available, and cheaper. So is this a viable alternative to plastic wrapped? And what actually is in that wax? Find out here
While it is still a bit cold to be out there, thoughts now turn to the garden and the seeds that need to be sown for the coming year. You need to start planning ahead for plastic free seedlings. You can buy plastic-free seeds and find instructions on how to make your own paper seedling pots here. Plus other great plastic free garden related products.
Keep well
Got the sniffles? Try a reusable inhalers and eucalyptus oil. Breath easily and cut the trash. Plus information on where to recycle disposable inhalers.
Next Month
As ever we are planning ahead as plastic free events need some organising.
It’s the big one of course! Valentine’s Day approaches. We have got plastic free candles to set the mood, flowers without the wrap, chocolates, sweets and cards. Even a few ideas for trash free gifts. If your plastic-free sweetie is also a minimalist, there are some nice alternative ideas! And if all this does the trick, some plastic reduced condoms you can compost. Too much info? Head on over here to get loved up!
