I was writing about convenience just today - what a coincidence that you mention it. There will be a post on that later and how my desire for convenience means I have more rubbish than I care to own up to each week...... I hope you find a refill scheme near you. If not, would it be possible for you to set up a co-op with some other families and buy things in bulk? At least this is less packaging to get rid of. Have a beautiful weekend, Mrs G x Hi Melissa!

I think plastic in so many ways might be the bane of our collective existence. Truly, it doesn't break down, can leach toxins into our food, and it unsightly on roadsides - not to mention the use of fossil fuels in its creation! (If memory serves me correctly...). Ahh, but the convenience! That's the clincher - we all know it's bad but it's so darn convenient. This article is full of great ideas. I'm going to look into the refill scheme, but I have a feeling it's just not available in our area. And I totally get you about the kneading the bread thing - there's something cathartic about handling the dough! Although I don't have the time to make near as much bread as I'd like to. Cheers and thanks for the wonderful tips! These are great tips!! I think plastic in so many ways might be the bane of our collective existence.
