45 Times People Did Something Clever About Saving The World Instead Of Just Talking

I love this idea

That’s cool.

This is cool

That's smart... And cute. I like it :)

Ive donated to them before!

Looks cool as well

We have these in Denmark. It's a little tiny dot of some special glue, which took them a long time and effort to develop. It holds the six cans tightly together and you have to twist it in a certain way to separate. After the glue doesn't stick to anything anymore. It saves 150 tons of plastic a year in Denmark alone. Also we have a system where you get paid for returning empty bottles and cans. A lot of homeless people make a living collecting them, and also they don't end up polluting nature.

Just, keep them in Cali. If they are not native species, they may overgrow your local native species.

When paper is very dirty, like sometimes of food, when wrapped things, it cannot be recicled and it must be thrown in the waste container, not in the paper one.

Seen these used for hot rice as the leafs sort of heat protected

love this! super easy, quick and tasty

It's the one Moses used :P

This is great for things like remote controls. Instead of throwing the batteries away, recharge them. One less thing in the land fills

Why it isn't in all supermarkets?

Lets remember that many compostable cups are really not compostable. https://recycleforgreatermanchester.com/blog/the-truth-about-compostable-packaging/

When my son was in middle school, he got in trouble for "lurking" in the bushes next to his school. When I asked what he was doing, he said he was planting his pencil next to the school so that it would grow into a tree!! LMAO

Even the button is happy!

as mush as i love popping bubble wrap, this is amazing idea

Until someone steals my script

Why not just use metal ones and reuse. Single use is just wasteful however environmentally friendly

I would rather see this than all the plastic.

Or you can use eco-bags? They are cheap, reusable, machine washable and so light you can keep several in your handbag without noticing. Absolutely no need for paper or plastic.

If there is an absolute guarantee that there are no spiders whatsoever in those bags, then I am all for it!

Soooo basically what we used to have before the 90s?

Isn't it strange, this was what people did before plastic.........

way better than plastic. Would be even better with hemp paper bags!

Yes.

No plastic bags allowed in Hawaii

Not convinced that it's better. Especially if the plastic containers are recyclable.

I think many of the plastic packaging factories could consider switching into paper packaging instead

Looks cute and I would like that.

This is Delhaize in Belgium

This IS much better than plastic!!

I hope they're using recycled paper for those bags, though ... otherwise, that's a lot of trees cut down ... (I'm not a fan of plastic, either).

The fruit looks much more appetizing in the bags than in plastic clamshells, too.

Grapes packed like these is normal here

Sadly, a lot of stores use plastic that has to be cut open since people try to add more grapes to their bag or eat them...

Remember when the environmentalists insisted that we change to plastic bags because paper bags were killing all the trees? Pepper ridge farms remembers.

This makes more sense. Some grocery stores look at you like you're evil if you want to take your 12 plastic produce bags and put them into one more plastic bag at the checkout. They make you use paper as if that same store doesn't let you bag each grape individually in plastic bags if you want.

Some places you can't do this in because the shop/restaurant would be liable if anything bad happens. Sucks but it's true. They are forced to throw the food away.

Grey water reuse is awesome, although this would be ergonomically a bit awkward to use. I've seen these at urinals as well where it would work much better.

amazing! i want it for my home

This actually looks really nice. Cool!

I'm pleased to say every coffee shop in my city - Portsmouth UK - give away their grinds for gardening.

How do you recycle cigarette butts?

nice if you bought just one pair of shoes... Will look like a christmas tree if bought three or more :D :D

Why do you even have plastic confetti? Ours has always been made from paper, not plastic.

It's for Pani Puri (a snack) and with these pressed leaves they also make disposable plates

This is cool. I want this in my country

Smart

This thing came to my school in P6 (Year 6)

That you can use it in the dishwasher? Amazing.

The paper ones are actually quite eco-friendly too (not the plastic ones) because it's a way to reuse even a couple of times recycled paper that has little to no other uses. :)

It looks almost balletic.

This is really neat- but reminds me of fallout.

That looks so dope! I want one
