Perfect package for milk

Milk is one of the main foods in our family and probably in many others. We buy it every day. It is convenient when the milk is packed in plastic bottle or cardboard box. In this case, it is stable on the shelf of the refrigerator and do not  fall, like soft plastic bags. 

 

But which packaging for milk, cardboard or plastic, it is better for the environment? Since the garbage in our town basically is not sorted for recycling, but taken to the landfill, perhaps it makes sense to look for the answer in the rate of decomposition of cardboard and plastic.

The decomposition rate of cardboard is 1 year and the decomposition rate of the plastic is over 100 years. Here we go! The conclusion is obvious:  the best package for milk is a cardboard. 

Our grocery stores always have a very large range of milk and other dairy products (sour cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, whey) in cardboard boxes. Therefore, the citizens will be very easy to follow my advice and their environmental awareness and to buy dairy products in packaging that will cause minimal damage to nature during recycling.

Istanbul stray dogs eco feeders

I have one more interesting ecological history offered  Google Alert.
In Istanbul, Turkey, where an estimated 150,000 stray dogs and cats wander the streets every day, a Turkish company called Pugedon has come up with a way to provide food for the animals while simultaneously helping the environment. They're called "Smart Recycling Boxes" and they dispense dispense food and water in exchange for recycled plastic bottles. The benefits of the vending machines are two-fold: encourage recycling and help the thousands of stray dogs and cats across the city.The recycling is put on top and food is dispensed out of the bottom within easy reach for the animals. The vending machine also includes a water dish so users can pour the remaining water from the plastic bottle before recycling it The bottles are used to cover the cost of food.
I think this idea is ingenious, because it is not only beneficial and ecological but also very human and compassionate to the poor animal.

Poo Bus

Just look, what a great article Google Alert brought me:  Britain's first bus to be powered by human and food waste has taken to the roads.

The 40-seat Bio-Bus, nicknamed "the number two," will transport people between Bath and Bristol Airport. The biomethane gas it runs on is produced at a sewage treatment works at Avonmouth. The eco-friendly vehicle can travel up to 300km (186 miles) on one tank of gas, which takes the annual waste of about five people to produce.  Here we can read about it and even see a video. Just look how unusual and interesting it is!
