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! 🤔
New Zealand households throw away 157,389 tonnes of food a year = 271 jumbo jets ✈ 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?

Weighing up the cost of food waste against plastic packaging is tricky business, supermarkets say.

Live in the BOP then get along to the water’s edge and underwater to thoroughly clean up the harbour, enjoy music, entertainment, educational stalls, games for the kids and help clean up the waste blowing into the ocean from our city. ... See MoreSee Less

Plastic pollution sure is a winner 🏆👎
It currently holds the spot of no. 1 threat to marine environments 🐠❗
Just last year an albatross in NZ died after consuming a plastic bottle 😟
Many marine creatures can not tell the difference between man made and natural, and will consume plastic by mistake 😔
We wouldn't eat plastic- so why should they?
