Not even two weeks in and today I purchased a lunch in a Styrofoam soup bowl with lid, two Styrofoam plates (one as a lid) cling-filmed together a plastic cup with more cling-film plastic cutlery in a plastic packet with a napkin all in a plastic bag...right next door to my house!
It would seemed that I have failed in my plan for 2016, and maybe I have, but I am justifying it because it wasn´t for me (although I am planning on only buying music downloads etc. as gifts this year), and I didn´t have time to plan this purchase!
Usually when I am going to a supermarket (in this case to buy my zero packaging ingredients for lunch) and I see someone homeless outside, I ask them what they want. Today the lady asked for money for a hot lunch, I explained that I didn´t have cash but could get her anything she wanted from the supermarket. She asked fora fried chicken meal with soup, and since we weren´t sure if she would be allowed in, we ordered it take away!
The way I see it I have two options, stop feeding the homeless or create rubbish, so I´m allowing this slide!
