How Can We Stop Corporate Pollution
Ruth Ostrow from the Weekend Australian comments on the daily corporate pollution that plagues the environment
"Does it seem right that almost every bill comes with a brochure? Insurance, phone, electricity and credit card bills all come with shiny rubbish and a corporate motto: Kill trees and stuff them into envelopes for no one to read. "
She outlines how cafes and restaurants have opted for disposable plastic rather than washing cutlery and plates. Wine glasses are also often disposable. Not to mention the epidemic of plastic drinking bottles.
Can any of us make a difference in this world? The answer is Yes!
You can minimize some of the issues Ruth has mentioned by:
- Buying biodegradable / recyclable packaging and return as much packaging as you can to suppliers
- Recycling everything you can including those glossy brochures
- Install a water filter instead of purchasing bottled water
