Another thing is I love in your videos that you remind us when we shop, we have choices, that we can choose minimal or zero packaging. It has definitely got me paying attention when I shop.

Madeleine and Tara have inspired us to use compostable bin bags, washable dishcloths, keep cups for coffee, bamboo toothbrushes, and we don’t buy cling film anymore! And no more plastic razor blades, old fashioned safety razor instead

Previously I never really considered the cradle to grave aspect of what I consume, now I do. Your page is constantly teaching me in the little details that I simply wouldn’t have known. You are a constant reminder to me to focus on the positive. It is good to know that in a world so obsessed with endless consumption, that there is a powerful community of people committed to driving change.

I love following Plastic free Kinsale on Facebook, plenty of useful tips and reminders for our family as to how to reduce our plastic use/ misuse. Am trying to turn our home into a “much reduced plastic user”. Keep up the good work ladies.
