Plastic
The rubbish we generate is the extension of our bodies and our actions. Once out of sight, we want to see it as something that has nothing to do with us, but no, we can't remove the gum stuck so easily from above.
There are a lot of alarms on. Some of us can't avoid them, some of us don't see them, some of us don't want to see them. However, the presence of these people we feel/say/do in this context of daily life marks the present and we can mark the future.
I think throwing a plastic trash bag in three or four days is a sign of the smell of smell that comes from a model. What are we doing by putting/buying/eating loose muffins inside the case? To whom and what are we building all of this? Is recycling enough?
The questions open the way and, rather than seeking a concrete answer, the ones at home decided to live the presences: to pass the plastic from a negligible support element to an object that we considered. So our choice was not to buy anything new that had plastic. As a first approach, we set out the challenge of not buying plastic products for seven days. We would go out to buy with bags of homemade fabric, where we would put fruit and vegetables; for foods that could be spills, old tupers; and the glass containers, to collect the loose legumes, the powdered chocolate bought in bulk and the cereals; they avoided the yoghurt pots... From time to time we had to give many explanations and difficulties. In the village we went a lot from one side to the other looking for elements that took into account our decision, so the places of purchase were very varied. It has also served us to relax the pace of day to day, and the use of cardboard was almost halved at home.
When we come back to day by day, we have kept the most important references we have created with the elaboration and, although we know that it is not possible to maintain the challenge of zero plastic, our relationship with this element is now different and we have greatly reduced its use. Recycling is important, but at home, it seems to us that if we generated less waste, we would be at the center of the problem. We wanted to share our experience with you and encourage you to live your challenge with the relationship you have with plastic.
