In a recent Papu-video J.R. was seen with a basket and it raised some questions. Apparently it was quite funny to walk out with a basket in the middle of the winter, when there are definitely no picnics outside. But the basket is not for picnics, it's for grocery shopping.
Shopping basket is another environmental choice by us, though now you might wonder why we don't use canvas bags like everybody else. News for you: they're just not as handy. When you walk to a store, you have basically two options: You can pick one huge family-sized shopping cart or you can choose one big dirty (they're always dirty!) plastic basket. Not very appealing. But ha! We have our own perfectly sized clean shopping basket with us. And you walk out with the very same basket. Very convenient.
I got the basket from my mother as a birthday gift. She wanted to give me a really nice basket, because she knew that I wanted one, but she couldn't find one at the time. I don't mind, because I've been really happy with the one I got. The fabric lining is really nice. The basket was also filled with cheap groceries when she handed it to me. Those are obviously long gone.
I know that some of my friends don't actually see me as an environmental friend, and in some cases it can be quite true... For example I recycle paper and carton because the box where you put them is right outside, but not cans because they require a separate trip to the shopping mall's parking lot. It seems that I'm environmental friendly only when it saves money and doesn't take much effort. Do I still get to heaven?

Mahtuispa viiden hengen ostokset tuommoiseen koriin.. {haaveilee}
ReplyDeleteNina: Tarvitsee vaan vähän isomman korin. Mun äidillä on sellainen kulmikas jättikoppa, ja sen pohjalla vielä varmuuden vuoksi kangaskassi. Kulmikas koppa olisi muutenkin parempi, kun noi ostokset yleensä on vähän kulmahtavia :P Seuraava koppa tulee kyllä olemaan sellainen.
ReplyDeleteMun kauppareppu painaa yleensä jotain 10kg että ei tuu tollasta käytettyä, mutta varmaan jos olis kauppa yhtä lähellä ja vois käydä useammin.
ReplyDeleteEn oo kyllä huomannut että ne muovikorit olis likaisia..ehkä ne siellä on likaisempia? :D
Elina: Me käydään kaupassa joka päivä, niin ei ne ostokset kerralla tuu hirveästi painamaan. Mutta kyllä ne muovikorit on oikeasti aina ihan likaisia. Jotain tosi epäilyttävää limaa pohjalla, tai sitten jotain roskia. Menee aina tosi kauan kun yrittää löytää sellainen kelvollisen :P
ReplyDeleteHei toihan on hyvä idea! Syön koulussa kunnon ruuan niin en osta kauheasti ruokaa kotiin, tuo voisi toimia varsinkin lähikaupassa käydessä :)
ReplyDeleteJa kyllä, ne muovikorit on usein likasia tai siellä on esim semmonen hedelmäpussin riekale tai jotain hämärää pohjalla.
Fee: Amoena suosittelee! Se on oikeasti tosi kätevää. Koppa vaan kainaloon, kaupassa ostokset koppaan, kopasta hihnalle, takaisin koppaan, kopasta kaappiin. Mä tykkään eniten siitä, että sitä koppaa on niin helppo pakata ja "unpakata". Kassista saa aina kaivaa niitä ostoksia, mutta kopasta ne voi vaan nostella kaappiin. Joo. Oon ehkä vähän laiska :D
ReplyDeleteToihan onkin aika näppärä idea! Ja toi hygieniaperustelukin oli hyvä. Nää on näitä arkipäivän pieniä juttuja, joita ei usein tule erikseen mietittyä.
