the coffee jars we buy (fair trade) have plastic lids. you can recycle them into plant pot saucers i guess, but there is a limit on how many you need in a lifetime. just like a limit on how many draught excluders you need.Shirlz2005 wrote:Hmmmm
Coffee and tea should be fine - why can you not have those M3? The jar can be reused and the teabags can go onto the compost heap.
I will certainly do the "See how much rubbish I use and try to reduce as much as possible" thing!Shirlz2005 wrote:Hmmmm

We can get yeast in little tins here - again reusable. I buy a packet of yeast though and it lasts for ages - much more cost effective than the little sachets.
Rice and pasta - don't some come in recyclable cardboard packaging. You could always stuff the plastic packaging into a cushion cover or something to use as outdoor cushions, or into a sausage shape to make a draught excluder - that's what I'm planning to do with any that we get.
Sugar - will you go through a packet in two weeks? Biscuits - make your own?
Can't you buy loose tatties?
It's interesting this - it will highlight the different challengesthat different parts of the world have when it comes to recycling, and precycling.
