I have no idea how far they are in the Netherlands with this.... But I haven't come across the opportunity yet, sadly enough.Uniflamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181945318301274101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-34077866335902223372011-06-05T00:57:30.382-05:002011-06-05T00:57:30.382-05:00I try to minimise packaging where I can, but it...I try to minimise packaging where I can, but it's nearly impossible to buy in bulk where I live. I give my food scraps to my friend for her chickens. And of course recycle a lot. The reduce part of reduce, reuse, recycle is always the hardest.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-26273065638757603782011-06-04T20:01:56.647-05:002011-06-04T20:01:56.647-05:00I need to be better about this.

Plus, we always seem to have more recyclables than trash. I buy in bulk where I can, but need to make more of an effort in that area.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809957322264630900.post-73327736494823715362011-06-04T17:26:48.565-05:002011-06-04T17:26:48.565-05:00I love trying to have as little waste as possible....I love trying to have as little waste as possible. It's like a game with me. I've never managed zero, but I've been close.
