There are biodegradable rubbish bags. Brands I know of are BioTuff and BioBag and Full Circle Compostable Waste Bags

My in laws waste $140 a month on food
They won’t eat cheese day after or yogurt expired 3 days before
They buy too much food and can’t believe how much they waste

Has any stopped to actually think (or Google) these facts? If you look into the amount of plastic in the oceans, or the decline in the marine life, of any environmental problem its really sad...

Tampons and sanitary pads take 800 years to break down!!!! That means EVERY SINGLE TAMPON AND PAD EVER MADE HAS STILL NOT BROKEN DOWN!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Im not sure, but i assume this would also apply to disposable nappies!

Yet people keep having more children

The effects of overpopulation are compounded by overconsumption. According to Paul R. Ehrlich, speaking in 2017:

Rich western countries are now siphoning up the planet’s resources and destroying its ecosystems at an unprecedented rate. We want to build highways across the Serengeti to get more rare earth minerals for our cellphones. We grab all the fish from the sea, wreck the coral reefs and put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We have triggered a major extinction event [...] A world population of around a billion would have an overall pro-life effect. This could be supported for many millennia and sustain many more human lives in the long term compared with our current uncontrolled growth and prospect of sudden collapse [...] If everyone consumed resources at the US level – which is what the world aspires to – you will need another four or five Earths. We are wrecking our planet’s life support systems.

I have a lemon tree and a passionfruit vine so never buy these. I give heaps away to family, friends and co-workers. When I have too much of either lemon or passionfruit I squeeze them into ice cube trays and freeze, then I can always use in cooking

I have started growing my own herbs. They are only seedlings in pots at the moment, but I'm so sick of paying so much for a bunch of herbs at the supermarket. Soon I won't have to, I'll just go outside and grab whatever I need and save!

People around the world buy 1 million plastic drinking bottles every minute, and use up to 5 trillion single-use plastic bags every year. Humans are addicted to plastic, and hardly any of it — about 9 percent — gets recycled. A staggering 8 million tons (7.25 metric tons) ends up in the ocean every year. Break the cycle.

Eat Sustainable Foods
Today, large-scale food production accounts for as much as 25 percent of the greenhouse emissions. So how do you eat sustainably? Choosing food from farmers that aim to conserve the natural resources and have as little impact on the land as possible. But even buying as much as you can from local farmers makes a different. Eating more whole grains, vegetables, fruits and nuts, and less red meats and processed foods does too. Grow your own fruits and vegetables. You can grow a garden!

Buy less stuff!! Think about how much less shopping you have done since Covid and you survived, just shows that you didn't need it in the first place

What are ways we can be sustainable with food consumption?

What You Can Do;
-PRIORITISE WHERE TO SHOP. …Google ‘Ethical Shopping Pyramid’
Every dollar you spend is a vote for the type of food system and world you’d like to be a part of

-INSTIGATE HOUSEHOLD MEAT-FREE DAYS. ...
-BUY LOCAL, SEASONAL, ORGANIC PRODUCE. ...
-REDUCE FOOD WASTE AND BUY A COMPOST BIN. ...
-SOURCE ETHICALLY RAISED AND SUSTAINABLE MEAT AND SEAFOOD. ...
-GROW YOUR OWN FOOD. ...
-EAT WHOLEFOODS, NOT PROCESSED FOODS. ...
-AVOID PACKAGING – ESPECIALLY NON-RECYCLABLE PLASTICS
-REFUSE, REDUCE, REUSE, REPURPOSE, RECYCLE

And do you want to know the best bit? Most wholefoods can be bought completely packaging free

Use paper based cotton buds - the plastic stick in the middle is replaced with hard paper - yes they do exist

If all you have to worry about is plastic you are so lucky.

The populations of some marine species have declined by 49 per cent in just four decades, according to one of the most extensive surveys of sealife ever compiled due to over fishing.

At least 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year, and make up 80% of all marine debris from surface waters to deep-sea sediments. ... Marine species ingest or are entangled by plastic debris, which causes severe injuries and deaths.

Who even cares. Not like us or our kids will suffer from it. We'll be long gone.

"ThE wOrLd iS oVeR pOpuLaTeD" - well Linda, you're welcome to leave it.

"SeRiAL KiLLeRs aRe EviL" - agreed, but think of the bright side, fewer people driving cars, clearing trees, dumping plastic, and fucking the environment.

"BoYcOtT NutTeLLa tHeY UsE PaLm OiL" - so do most companies. At least Nutella uses sustainably sourced palm oil.

We all use platic it a fact but we also reuse plastic as well so you know.

You sunscreen is destroying the coral! Oxy Benzone, the chemical in sunscreen is destroying our coral reefs.

It's uncertain how many slow lorises remain in the wild, but conservationists say populations have declined because the pet trade continues to run rampant. Habitat loss also has taken a toll, as has poaching for traditional Asian medicine, which ascribes therapeutic properties to the animals' body parts.

Poor chameleons! Of the Madagascar chameleons, 52 percent are threatened and 70 percent are considered threatened or near threatened! This includes five species assessed as Critically Endangered and 23 species assessed as Endangered!
