Here’s one of my dreams – having a as much as possible plastic free kitchen someday. It’s a tough one, I know. But we can only do our best and be part of the solution.
Not only stop using plastic products, but we also demanding that companies stop producing them.

Reusable bottles
One of the biggest changes in my kitchen was the reduction of plastic bottles using my soda maker. As some of you may know, I’m addicted to sparkling water and it always was a nightmare looking at the pile of plastic bottles I used to have to be recycled.
Now, I barely have them. Like we know, recycling shouldn’t be the first option. Reducing and reusing should be always priority!
