Von den Machern der großartigen Story of Stuff kommt jetzt: The Story of Bottled Water.
Schlagwort: Plastik
Die Gefahren und Implikationen unseres Plastikzeitalters sind klar (falls nicht, ich habe es zum Beispiel hier thematisiert (und ein bisschen da)). Wie man eine große Quelle an Plastikmüll massiv reduzieren könnte, habe ich in einem kleinen Video für den th!nk2-Wettbewerb demonstriert.
Today my post is just a small example of a climate friendly solution that has no simply disadvantages for anyone involved: SPAR, Austrias second largest supermarket-brand, offers bags made from bio-plastics in some of their stores since 2007. Due to the great success of those bags, they now start offering them in every store. Those bio-bags are produced in Austria out of potatoes that grow (in a CO2-neutral manner) mostly on Austrian farms. They can be composted without being hazardous to the environment. Those bags even noticeably improve the storability of fresh groceries, because they are „breathable“.
Did you know that drinking from plastic bottles may decrease your fertility because they could contain estrogen-alike substances (Bisphenol A)?
Did you know that there is a huge soup of plastic garbage swimming between Japan and Hawaii?
Did you know that every human today has potentially dangerous plastics in his blood?
To be honest. I didn’t.
