hi - it's the end of another week here on Planet Earth so here's what i have been up to today:
Firstly something posi
tive - especially if you like frozen yogurt...Twisted Frozen Yoghurt use a plant based eco friendly cup for their take outs, spoons, straws etc.
I have contacted Coles to check whether they use Modified Atmosphere Packaging on their meat (conventional & organic)...as well as commended their decision to sell only hormone free meat. If they don't, then they will consider a change to the ECO friendly PLA (plant based plastic) option.
I have emailed Nature's Child & Adore Beauty because it's the end of week 2 now and no reply or definitive answer. I am not known for my patience...but i think 10 days is long enough. I am asking what packaging they ship in and if they don't currently use an ECO option, why not and what would inspire them to swap to an eco option?
This is the most interesting part, because I figure we need to understand what, if anything, companies are thinking when it comes to selecting packaging. It is quite possible that they are not aware of all the excellent biodegradable & compostable options out there.
Is it just me...or does anyone else agree that if there is an eco friendly packaging option - then a company should use it? ... or at the very least make some eco friendly changes whilst they head towards total eco-ness?

Here is a picture of a great packaging fill product made from CORN..Corn Starch. This packaging product replaces foam. I ate a piece - but i don't recommend this - just re-use it or let it biodegrade by natural means :)
Next week i will continue to follow up on Boost Juice, O-Sushi, Sushi Train & anyone else you suggest. To be honest i am surprised at how many companies have not responded - i thought they would have all at least answered the emails. Luckily i am not adverse to a chat on the telephone....let's see how that goes.
