UNPACKAGED<br />
PRODUCTS<br />
Everyone knows that<br />
disposable dishes, plastic<br />
cups, plastic bags<br />
and straws are now a<br />
no-go. In addition, when<br />
shopping, you can make<br />
sure to buy loose instead<br />
of packaged fruit.<br />
GLASS INSTEAD OF<br />
PLASTIC<br />
Even if they are heavier<br />
to carry, you can buy<br />
bottled water and soft<br />
drinks that come in glass<br />
bottles. Tupperware can<br />
be replaced by glass<br />
containers that are also<br />
suitable for freezing.<br />
What should be done?<br />
SOAPS INSTEAD<br />
OF GELS<br />
Instead of shampoos<br />
and shower gels in<br />
stylish, colorful plastic<br />
bottles, you can<br />
also switch to soap<br />
bars for everyday<br />
use. These are now<br />
already available<br />
in bar form and are<br />
available for all kinds<br />
of hair types and<br />
needs-- against dandruff,<br />
oily hair and<br />
skin, etc. But beware<br />
of fragrances that<br />
may be harmful to<br />
your health.<br />
PACKAGING-FREE STORES<br />
Anyone who is really curious<br />
about how to reduce packaging<br />
waste in the long-term can<br />
simply search for “packagingfree<br />
stores‘‘ on the Internet.<br />
In many German cities, there<br />
are small shops that only offer<br />
unpackaged goods. The first<br />
store of this kind in Berlin was<br />
„Original Unverpackt“ (Originally<br />
Unpackaged) located at Wienerstraße<br />
16 in Kreuzberg. The trip<br />
is particularly worthwhile for<br />
durable products or things that<br />
you need every day but only buy<br />
once a month, such as laundry<br />
detergent.<br />
FOOD-SHARING<br />
When consumers signal to manufacturers<br />
that less is already more, corporations<br />
could adjust their production.<br />
Food waste is a particularly painful<br />
thing. The WHO estimates that around<br />
1.3 billion tons of food end up in the<br />
trash worldwide every year. This equals<br />
the weight of 20 billion supermodels<br />
with an average weight of 65 kilograms.<br />
A good alternative to put a stop<br />
to this madness are so-called foodsharing<br />
initiatives. Restaurants, hotels,<br />
snack bars and bakeries offer to sell<br />
things that are not sold during the day<br />
for a lower price via certain Apps. ResQ<br />
Club or TooGoodToGo are among the<br />
most popular apps of this type. (ts,sw)<br />
