Forbidden Food Waste
A new law in France bans supermarkets from throwing away or destroying unsold food. Instead, the food will be donated to food banks and charities.
This is great news for the climate, too. If food waste was its own country, it would be the 3rd largest contributor to greenhouse gases after China and the United States.
France is the first country in the world to instate such a ban. Hopefully other nations will follow suit.
Amazing and so community minded!
Waste tin cans to a beautiful spoon stand. Recycling is fun, isn’t it?
I always appreciate a bit of nifty upcycling, especially when it’s a combination of recycling, inspired design, and functionality.
I want to be utilized.
Pretty nice weekend project!
Why stock both?
One of the big pharmacy/drugstore/chemist chains in Germany, Rossmann, is doing a lot to be more environmentally friendly.
I sometimes buy these cotton buds and always go for the biodegradable, recycled version they sell.
Many consumers probably wouldn’t notice if they stopped selling the plastic-stick version and so I wonder why they still do stock them? I’m sure it’s not that simple but at the same time, it is!!!
I know the non-plastic ones are three times the price, but supply and demand means that if only the paper ones were stocked, they'd become a lot cheaper.
How many examples of plastic goods sitting next to a biodegradable version do you see in your local stores?
More chocolate packaged in paper!
Maybe this has always been going on maybe it is new. Either way, I was pleased to see loads of different chocolate companies packaging their schoko treats in paper last week in Aldi.
Remember - we all have the power of divestment (voting with our feet).
Stop press! Chocolate sold in paper! Yesterday we bought these little guys and the packaging was all paper and a little foil. Biodegradable and safe! Can't all companies do this? I'm pretty sure people are chocolate before plastic was invented...

Wow! What a great piece of art - a statement made in a beautiful way!
It's by the Plastic Pollution Coalition who also have these great Youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/PlasticPollution

Garbage out, garbage in. Bon Appetit.
I went to see the Arctic Monkeys at the weekend and was really pleased to be given this wooden, biodegradable dish for my food from one of the stalls. How great is that! Plus no dodgy plastic chemicals in my food. It's a winner all round.

Beat the Microbead
Here is a great app from Beat the Microbead, who I posted about earlier today: http://beatthemicrobead.org/en/in-short
Scroll down to the bottom of that link for more info or look up 'beat the microbead' in the App store.
The app enables you to scan products to find out whether they contain the toxic plastic microbeads which are polluting our water systems and are already in our food chain thanks to their use in cosmetics:
