4 tips for spending an eco -responsible summer
1. Dislets: Dare the variety
The antigaspillage law (AGEC law) has prohibited since 2021 the sale of many single -use plastic products: cutlery, plates, cups, straws. In bamboo or wood, alternatives exist but remain disposable.
If there is a lack of dishes for its guests, you can opt for the mismat, borrow from its neighbors, or even supply yourself to Emmaüs or in a recyclery. Another option: each guest brings its ecocup, these reusable solid plastic cups.
2. Green its barbecues
What would be a summer reception without grilled or plancha? Varying pleasures by offering vegetarian options, as tasted and less energy -consuming as meat is a solution. Slices of eggplant, zucchini, or halves of oiled peppers arise directly on the grid or the plancha.
For protein skewers, the meat can be replaced with cubic tofu or seitan. The two are married and cook very well on the barbecue.
3. Flower drinks
To avoid plastic bottles without depriving themselves of bubbles, guests will be surprised to discover the sodas made up of flowers. The fleeting flowers, elderberries, clover and robinier are covered with natural yeasts. In an airtight container, mix a good handful of flowers with 1 liter of water, two lemon slices and 50 to 100 g of sugar.
Keep at room temperature and stir twice a day for three days. Filter, bottle in a glass container, then keep twenty-four hours cool. The yeasts will absorb the sugar and give a delicious sparkling, consumable for two weeks.
4. Zero pollution factories
Some departments prohibit the Baudruche balloons and flying lanterns due to the risk of fire and pollution they represent. The Baudruche debris is in the top 10 recreational waste abandoned on the coastlines, and are found in the organisms of birds or fish.
Confetti in plastic and artificial petals launched at the exit of weddings are also prohibited by the Agec law. Prefer to them brewed lavender grains, dried petals or soap bubbles. For outdoor decorations, choose fabric pennants, washable and reusable.
