THE GOOD EARTH
Plastic Free Living
You may be aware that plastic is bad for the environment but do you know exactly how?
Perhaps you’re already using drink bottles that are BPA free, but did you know that BPA is in all soft plastics?

Ocean |
- The ocean may look calming and inviting, but did you know that any plastics that make it to the ocean breakdown into plastic microbeads?
- These microbeads are ingested by plankton and in turn are eaten by fish.
- It's even very likely that the fish you are about to eat contains plastic microbeads.
- Let’s find out what we can use instead?
I'm speaking with Margaret Mossakowska of www.mosshouse.com.au

Plastic pollution |
Replace you worn out plastic containers with glass ones because cheeses, meats and any food that has more than 4% fats should be stored in glass.
Why? because those plastic containers do contain BPA
One thirds of plastics are used for packaging such as food but you can avoid buying veggies that are wrapped in plastic, they don’t need it.
Bring your own container to get meat, fish, cheese etc.
Don’t take no for an answer, it’s not illegal.
If you have any questions, either for me or for Margaret, why not email realworldgardener@gmail.com or write in to 2RRR P.O. Box 644 Gladesville NSW 1675.
