the next step is to reduce overwrapping and plastics. Go to the source.

Pretty impressed with the recycling system in place in the neighborhood, here. The massive wheelie bins they brought in to my borough back in the other country were a bit awkward and stinky.
I do miss the garden composter, mind.

Too much wrapping and too much plastic. Why wrap fruit when most don't need it?

Ditto on the insane amounts of plastic used in Japan. Does an individual friggin' banana need to be sheathed in plastic when nature has already given it a skin?
