01.01.2022 What are we talking about this week on our radio show? Plastic and The Story of Plastic. What can you do to reduce or remove plastic from your life. Tune in each Thursday at 10am or Saturday at 9am to Seymour FM 103.9 MHz or stream at www.seymourfm.com.au/audio-player.html Posted by Sustainable Table #PlasticFreeJuly - Cling Wrap Alternatives. Did you know that glad wrap / cling wrap / plastic wrap whatever the plastic you use to cover your platter or your half avocado with..., was originally a mistake of chemistry? This transparent film was discovered as a residue clinging to the bottom of a beaker in a 1930s laboratoryToday, it is contributing to the pollution crisis and is awfully difficult to recycle. It’s also made up of harmful chemicals, which when breaking down in the environment, contribute to landfill, greenhouse gasses and pollutants into the sea. (National Geographic, 2019) Yes, this plastic wrap we all grew to rely on may save your sandwich, but it’s choking our earth. It’s single use and it will take hundreds of years to break down into microplastics that ultimately never disappear The alternatives? ~ Beeswax wraps we love using @bee_eco_wraps to wrap all manner of things in ~ Reusable containers pop your goods in a container instead of wrapping it in plastic ~ The old bowl over a plate trick ~ Tea towels also work a treat if used with a rubber band. This is a little trick we use when transporting a platter or large salad/meal to a friend’s. Rubber bands are those that have been collected from bunched produce.
