Plastic free fry up

May 1, 2008 in Food & Drink, Lifestyle

Plastic free bacon and sausages – vegetarians look away.

200709 192 biodegradable breakfast
How did I do it ?

Got some paper bags

Got some biobags – compostable vegetable starch waterproof bags.

Went to my butchers and asked him to use them instead of the plastic wrappings he uses.

Result – completely biodegradable packaging for my meat.

Vegies from the green grocer in paper bags which I reuse and eventually compost, eggs in a cardboard box ditto.

With my plastic free teabags and milk in a glass returnable bottle my breakfast leaves no footprints. If you are a coffee drinker you have to get your coffee fromCoffee Evolution.

    In Germany I used to bring my own clear refrigerator plastic container to the butcher when I purchased deli meats. At home it went straight to the fridge. At least in smaller towns this is a very common practice.

  • Plastic lasts for ever and we are using it to make one use, throwaway items. We have created everlasting rubbish and plastic litter is increasing exponentially. Plastic pollution is destroying the landscape, killing wildlife and poisoning the seas.
    .
    Evidence is also emerging that the plastic we use in everyday to wrap our food, wear next to our skin and use to decorate our homes may well be poisoning us.
    .
