Food Packaging And All That Goes To Waste

Food packaging is on so many food products these days. You go to the grocery store and almost everything is covered in plastic or in tins. You cannot buy just one grocery item, you have to buy three of the same food product wrapped in plastic food packaging. This is the reason the garbage bin fills up so quickly, with all the food packaging taking up so much space as garbage.

Some of the supermarkets have finally started to shift towards displaying some products without food packaging, especially the fruit and vegetables. So you can pick a number of fruit and place them in a paper bag and bring them home.

I have now ceased buying fruit and vegetables from the grocery store, as I have expanded my garden to include more organic fruit and vegetables. I have also planted miniature fruit trees all around the yard to fulfil the family needs for fruit.

So now if we need some lemons, we go to the lemon tree and pick them fresh off the branch. If we need some tomatoes to make a sauce, then we go and pick the tomatoes from our tomato plants in our garden. No need for a plastic sauce bottle, or plastic bags to carry the tomatoes from the store.
