    I’ve been fulfilling the challenge, however I’ve also tried to be away from gadgets/social media and therefore haven’t filled stuff in here as much as needed☺️

    Food Buy Unpackaged Produce
    Why do you think these produce products started amassing so much plastic packaging? Who is the plastic packaging really serving -- the consumer, the producer, or someone else?

    It’s worrying how much plastic is used (at least in my living area people recycle), even at the food markets when buying fresh fruits and vegetables. Luckily there are facebook groups and therefore more people who demand more and more plastic free products. Yay! At least it’s going in the right direction.. I believe in it!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Cook a Zero-Plastic Waste Meal
    Do an inventory of your kitchen to see how many single-use plastics you've used in the past. What are some resuable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable?

    I have some ‘single-use plastics’ that I can still somehow use, I will definitely recycle them when they become unusable. Then I will buy reusable alternatives.
