RE: my PLASTIC FREE WEEK - an experiment
Great challenge, each plastic item less is a big win for our planet - you can be proud of your result! It is a bit frustrating though, that the supermarket often offers conventional fruits and veggies without additional packaging, but wrap the organic stuff in a thick layer of plastic. Difficult to make the right choice here, isn't it? Although, you can see a lot of new concepts and ideas - our town's first packaging free organic store just celebrated its first anniversary and some huge supermarket chains are about to include environment-friendly labels that do not involve any plastic, but are directly lasered onto the fruits without harming it.
great news! indeed, each plastic item less is a big win for the planet! but somehow, you have to really rich to reduce plastic completely... they get at least 3 times more expensive the plastic free items... we do what we can..
Actually in our packaging-free organic store, most items are way cheaper compared to conventional organic stores, since the produce is less expensive to purchase for them without the packaging. But unfortunately many other store concepts like this one do not forward the lower prices to their customers - I hope for more conscious shop owners for the future!
