The more we ask people about their views on being eco-friendly the more inspired we get.
Some eco-green stars need to go to:
Julie and Luis who have started their own organic garden in the heart of Hollywood.
Lovely Christina who campaigned to get recycling started on her TV show Kevin Hill and won. She's now considering starting an industry-wide campaign to get recycling bins on all sets. Brooklyn's Michele and Charlie who have installed state of the art recycling compartments in their new kitchen, use eco-products in the house and have bought their first composter for their city garden. Hugo in London who is petitioning to get more serious recycling efforts going for his apartment building.
Virginia in Portland, Oregon who has recently attended a master recycler program (how cool is that?) and has promised to send on the details.
Paul and Heather who now recycle in their east London flat and order the local veggie basket for their organic greens.
I have some catching up to do...
It's been an interesting week trying to buy household products and food only made from recyclable packaging. A mixed bag. Literally. For example, I just made a rocket (arugula) salad with fresh mozzarella. The rocket I bought from Waitrose last week was in a recyclable bag made from recycled plastic. However, the rocket I bought from Sainbury's today was in a bag that did not have the recyclable sign, nor was it made from recycled plastic. The Sainsbury's mozzarella was equally guilty. However, Sainsbury's does use some bags that are recyclable, mainly for their organic products. Less confusing were the products in cardboards boxes/cartons and aluminum packaging. All clearly recyclable. And almost all of the plastic packaging we bought was recyclable apart from a few random items we bought at Marks and Spencers and the lunch spot Eat. Things like salad containers that looked like they were candidates for the recycling pile turned out not to have any recycling symbols...
