@SuzanneN reading your post made me very happy! It's always so good to read that many people actually care about our worlds plastic pollution problem! I started using a reusable bottle years ago. It's so easy to avoid plastic bottles! I also always bring my own cutlery (I have it in a handbag or backpack) to avoid plastic cutlery! Thanks so much for your post!
@MiaMaria me too! nowadays in my backpack i am carrying a refillable coffee cup, my fork and spoon, and a small metal thermos when i know i'll be out at lunch, since much of the food people buy here is made on the street and packaged in plastic bags. i hand my thermos over and have the cook put directly into that, instead.
i also have discovered that many restaurants will happily put takeout food in your containers instead of their disposable ones. for that reason i often get takeout from places i can walk to. i guess it's like things used to be before throw-away culture took over.
for maps, i try to note in my reviews when places i visit are making an effort to reduce waste. i think it matters to most consumers, as it should!
Thanks @SuzanneN for making this post. Also thanks @KarenVChin for show me this post thru your replies.
You're doing great, Suzy! I just started to make a list of water refill stations around Luang Prabang, Laos, after I visited it last week. My friend just shown me an app named RefillMyBottle. I think it's already spread it movement around capital cities in Southeast Asia.
