    I am completely gone away from plastics at all. Only natural materials ontop of my exckusively made in EU company buying restrictions. Real Leather, Flax-Clothing instead of cotton, wood, and if it has to be i choose metal.

    It can get a bit pricy but knowing that these materials last longer and are way more repareable and durable, its worth it.

    I am not throwing out what i already have but when it breaks and cant be repaired then its replaced with these criteria in mind.

    So faar with wooden bowls, cooking feels much nicer and not going to lie, i belief it even tasts better.

      it seems that personal recycling is a much better option, because then you can buy according to the material that is of most re-use for YOU and then YOU do the repair, recycle, reuse process, rather than distribution centers, where who knows what they do with it really ive been traveling for the past year or so and havent been able to store much, but i look forward to the day that i have a place to store and craft with all my own used materials ♡ this is think would be much more affective for communities: local craft shops storing recycled material for free use, a lot of places already do this with their cardboard, and will give it to anyone who asks for it
