Being plastic free seems simple but it's not always easy and there are trade offs - eg. plastic helps preserve food longer which reduces food waste and food waste produces loads of methane! π€
New Zealand households throw away 157,389 tonnes of food a year = 271 jumbo jets β of food that has to go somewhere to rot, instead of being eaten. All of this food is worth about $1.17 billion each year. Enough to feed the population of Dunedin for nearly 3 years.
There are no easy answers here- what do you think? Should we go plastic free even if it creates more food waste? Are there other options?
