Single use items don’t need to be single use!

Often we’re told to avoid single use items, especially single use plastics, but something is only single use once you’ve thrown it away. Plenty of traditionally “single use” items can be reused multiple times. Like any bag with a zip seal, I use mine for shopping at the unpackaged shop. Or plastic fruit trays get used for seedlings, and other trays get popped under plant pots to catch water. Jam jars are reused over and over and shoe boxes are used for shortage. Paper is cut up and used as scrap for list making (I love a physical list - anyone else?).

This spring I’m saving anything that can be used as a plant pot or seed tray so I can get more plants on my balcony this year! What about you?

This is why the environmental movement must look beyond traditional environmental concerns. Last year cemented the fact that inequality runs at the heart of our societies. It’s not new but 2020 finally made it impossible to turn away. From health inequality, financial inequality, educational inequality, gender inequality to race inequality, we’ve now seen how fractured our society is. Not broken however, as the Incredible @mikaelaloach put it - “We don’t live in a ‘broken society’. We live in a system that has been specifically designed to benefit some people and harm others.” We know individual action alone can’t fix the climate, but many voices together can help. But how could we ask someone to campaign for the planet when they don’t know if they’re going to have food for tomorrow, or rent for this month, or money for medicine (thankful for the NHS 💙)?? If we can get everyone’s basic needs met then we have a much better chance of tackling the big issues we all face! So my climate activism looks bigger this year. It definitely might look more wasteful - like buying lots of packaged food for a local Foodbank. Maybe some of you will think it’s no longer climate activism. Maybe some of you will think it’s “too political”. But we cannot have climate justice without social justice. And I’m happy for my feed to look less aesthetic because of it 🤷🏼‍♀️ #Zerowaste #zerowastelondon #zerowasteuk #zerowastehome #goingzerowaste #ourplanetourhome #zerowastecollective #plasticfree #plasticfreeliving #wastefreeplanet #refusereducereuserecycle #reducewhatyouproduce #zerowasteliving #choosetorefuse #refusesingleuseplastic #iamzerowastecommunity #lowimpactmovement #lowimpactliving #zerowastechristian #zerowastejourney #lowwaste$
