Day one
1st July 2019
So I was really chuffed last night preparing for Plastic free July.
So this morning I woke up to one simple change Milk bottles, I have changed to glass bottles now for about a year so that was simple. PG tips pyramid are compostable tea bags and I was ready to guide my family forward. Then boom, one problem on day one breakfast I find that my goats milk has a plastic lid. I’m cow dairy intolerant and suffer from Ezcema so I can’t have cows products, I’m in trouble now as this is a plastic item. I can recycle the carton and cut off the lid to be recycled by a local company who make items from plastic lids.
Stuck what to do as I can’t buy another this month due to being plastic free, so I’ve decided to email St Helen’s farm to see if they offer a carton without plastic lids.
Wish me luck, first day, first meal then boom gutted but one hurdle to conquer on my plastic free quest.
This blog is of how I got on going plastic free throughout July 2019 and how I continued to reduce our household waste and remain plastic free. The journey has definitely opened my eyes on how wasteful our family weekly shop was and that Sustainability and living environmentally conscious has to be the overall goal. Educating the children in living a less waste way whilst being environmentally conscious can be achieved right on your door step without being drawn in to the big supermarket sales.
