Hi everyone,
Today we started looking at the amount of plastic packaging used to wrap our foods. We opened a large family sized bag of popcorn that contained 12 miniature packets of popcorn. We emptied out all of the popcorn into a bowl and spread out all of the plastic so we could see how much had been used. There was HEAPS!! We were not impressed with the huge amount of plastic needed to hold such a small amount of popcorn (only 204 grams)!
The environment and sustainability group decided that we need to make smarter and more environmentally friendly choices when doing our weekly shopping.
You can help reduce plastic waste by asking your families to buy only one big bag of food, not lots of small bags and by emptying it into small reusable containers you can use again and again while enjoying your yummy snack!
Thanks for stopping by.
