Paving The Way

Did you know Polystyrene was discovered in 1839?

Food

I quite fancy egg chips and beans with a cup of tea but at what price..?

At the risk of sounding like a hippy (after all I was brought up by them) Polystyrene does not biodegrade.. I have known this a while but every day I watch my kid grow I wonder what I have done to pave his way.. What kind of world will he grow into.

Sad as it seems I do look at the packaging provided before I order food to go and this does dictate to me whether I'll eat at one place over another. Maybe my Son will get to see these foibles and understand early on that although the choice is limited, I try to make the right one and am not just plodding along automatically without a care in the world. Without a care for the world.

Maybe we could all bring our own bowls an Tupperware's to the takeout?

There's a great saying from I believe the Navaho tribe in the US, that says "We don't inherit the earth from our parents, but borrow it from our Kids". How great if we could get McDonalds and Starbucks to put that up behind all their counters in all their stores!
