Day 23 and only 8 days left of this madness to find the alternative’s to plastic free. What have I learnt though is a lot.
I have to say that some plastic items will have to return after plastic free July as much as it pains me as I would like to continue plastic free. THE LOGISTICS of making the biscuits and snacking items are too much for this mom. What I will continue to Keep is the knowledge that there are other options to buying household and food items. I will continue to shop at the farm shops, butchers and local shops rather than huge food chain supermarkets. Using my reusable tubs has definitely reduced the waste to landfill and the two recycling bin’s I put out every two weeks, this week there will only be one bin. This meaning that my hard work has paid off and I’m only sending out 50% of what I usually do. Mostly tins from the pet food, bottles and delivery cardboard boxes.
Today I used the shampoo and conditioner bars, I was immediately surprised that the shampoo bar actually lathered my hair. The conditioner also went on with ease and I do believe if I have no reaction that this is a welcomed change I am willing to keep.
Once again I also picked up some salami for our pizzas in the week from the deli at Sainsbury’s that was also wrapped in paper. I was surprised to learn how when introducing any kind of change in their store people moan and make the process of elimination hard for the staff to support due to the negativeness they receive. Plastic reduction has to happen and like me with this process I hope people will read that small changes are not that difficult.
Last night the children were invited to our neighbours garden to experience his new toy a ice cream machine. I never told them about it until they got there and when they seen cones and paper tubs with wooden spoons they were ecstatic. We all munch away I a much missed item in this plastic free house.
