Waste Deep

May 29, 2014 by Peter Leave a Comment

waste deepThis is a very interesting 20 minute documentary, called Waste Deep, that makes me reconsider the food I eat and the waste I create. There are plenty of things to note in this documentary, but some of them are;

  • The images of the amount of plastic found inside sea-birds is shocking
  • Nature already does a good job of packaging – plastic is for shipping
  • “In nature, there’s no such thing as waste – everything gets returned back to the system!” – plastic doesn’t return to the system…
  • One major problem is that we’re influenced by marketing to believe that we can have anything we want, whenever we want.
  • “When we grow it, we know it!”
  • Avoid supply chains and shorten the distance between farmers and consumers
  • It’s good to reduce plastics, even recyclable plastics
  • “in 4 years the UK will have no more landfill for rubbish” – could that be true?
  • Look for what options you have other than just going to the huge supermarket
  • “Look for whole foods rather than something processed to within an inch of its life”

Hi, I'm Peter Whiting. For my whole life I've been a scientist, but my life has taken a new track. Starting about 8 years ago, I began to realise that so much of our standard way of living just isn't right. We need to become more aware, press the reset button and try to live life in the right direction.
