Alma Eko :
Plastics on vacation?
NOOO!, please.
As we mentioned in our previous post, at AlmaEko , together with all of you, we have undertaken an ambitious fight . We have set out to make your lives easier by proposing subtle but beneficial changes for everyone and the change can begin today during our vacation time, for example :
- Take the thermal bottle with cool water to the beach or on a walk in the countryside (it will last longer and will be cheaper than buying plastic bottles at the beach bar that are not safe to reuse over and over again ) .
- Prepare a rice salad or take a sliced watermelon from home in a steel lunch box (it retains its freshness if you leave it prepared the night before and put it in the fridge) or in a glass container .
- Cotton napkins are more economical and sustainable over time .
- Coconut or bamboo cutlery is a solution that does not add weight to the backpack .
- And to top it all off, the compostable bag for any leftover waste or to pick up what you find on your way home.
- To avoid getting sunburned when you go for walks in the mountains or lie on the beach, remember that sunscreens should not contain any chemicals, as these things pass into the body and also damage marine ecosystems. Mineral sunscreens are better.
And if you are at the beach, keep in mind that the sand is not an ashtray in which to deposit your cigarette butt. If you smoke, that's your problem! But I'm going to tell you something that you may not know. That cigarette butt that you consider to be an iniquitous waste, is in fact a In reality, it is a chemical bomb containing cellulose acetate impregnated with tar, arsenic, cadmium, copper, nicotine, nickel and many other heavy metals, all of which are highly polluting for land and water and a harmful poison for marine species.
And after knowing all this, are you still reluctant to share our philosophy ?
We can always make decisions that improve our quality of life and are respectful of the environment. Creating our FUTURE , our best LEGACY.
