Home alone with my little star second week now. My home cooking requires improvement. Main lesson learnt: respect single mothers, they do at least two jobs, if not more!
Single dads, too.

"65% of EU citizens separate most of their waste and 24% now avoid buying overpackaged goods." [EU Commision]
Help making it 25%, then 30, 50, until this packaging madness stops!!
EU Commission published their plastic strategy today https://ec.europa.eu/ireland/news/plastic-waste-a-european-strategy-to-protect-the-planet-defend-our-citizens-and-empower-our-industries_en
The good: we do something! The bad: mostly recycling (not avoidance) and only by 2029 (yes, in 12 years).
Though everyone can do something, every little helps. Don't by plastic and excessive packaged stuff, mostly food!! Ask your shop to go plastic free! IT is possible!
I went radical today on birdsite against, against plastic packaging and single use plastics. This is the year to stop this. Iceland (the food company) is now moving towards no plastics, so my frozen food comes now from there.
