Drowning in Plastic — NOT! An Environmentally Positive Local News Snippet...

One of our local friends — Vanessa — is a fellow entrepreneur who has been building her one-person day spa and beauty salon for several years.

At this point, she has become somewhat established and mildly successful, and one of the things that has helped make her so is the line of beauty products she — herself — has created.

![0186CobaltSeaglass.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/denmarkguy/hMjsgpWq-0186-CobaltSeaglass.jpg)
*This cobalt blue beach glass was once a blue glass bottle...*

Mrs. Denmarkguy was visiting her today and they got to talking about the whole *"making the world a better place"* issue, and they ended up talking about the packaging for Vanessa's products.

She'd apparently cast about to form a partnership/alliance with someone to package them... and kept running into all these *"layers of plastic"* everyone seemed to have front and center in their product lines. Didn't appeal to her — at all — so she decided to take matters into her own hands... and strike out in a direction *not* typically associated with beauty products: Instead of plastic containers and "clamshell" presentation... she chose *glass.*

## *The Way to Reduce Plastic in the World...*

... is to simply *not use it.*

Vanessa's new line of products are all packaged in glass containers, and she has an additional "gimmick" that actually serves to build brand loyalty: She charges a $2 deposit on every container of product sold... BUT, you get a *10% discount* when you bring one of her bottles back in to be refilled.

Or, of course, you can just bring in the bottles/containers and get your $2 back.

*More beach glass: This would have been green beer bottles. Now it's going back to being sand...*

Back in my early days on Steemit, I wrote a few posts about one of the "things" I had done over the years as a source of income: Picking up beach glass and selling it to jewelry makers and artists around the world, in a form of "upcycling."

One of the things that always *appealed* to me about being able to do that was that it represented a form of recycling.

We can look at glass in nature and see it as *"trash,"* which admittedly it IS, but it's not a "toxic substance" to the environment, the way plastic is. Glass is basically silica sand, lime, salt and trace minerals... all of which are naturally present in nature. Beach glass, as I would pick it up, was basically partially degrading back into "non-dirty" sand... not really a *pollutant.*

Somehow, it just made me really happy to hear that Vanessa had chosen the simplest way to combat the *"plastic pollutant"* issue... *to simply not use it all all!*

Maybe there's hope for the future of the world, after all!

Thanks for reading!

I buy my yogurt at the supermarket here in Greece in glazed earthenware bowls - which I then use as the soup/salad bowl part of my dinnerware. However I now have just about as many of these empty bowls as I could ever need, and yet I have a constant desire for more yogurt each week. I suppose, since I don't know of any yogurt maker who takes them back, I shall soon have to begin discarding them. But I guess discarding clay containers in benign compared to discarding plastic containers.  

I guess the really smart thing to do would be to start making my own yogurt again - a I did in the Himalayas almost 50 years ago. That yogurt went into big clay bowls too!

I really like the conscious effort to use durable containers, and also to reuse them!! It reminds me how in past generations milk was delivered in glass bottles and the glass was returned later. I am glad we have people like Vanessa that are trying to spread the word and make a conscious change for the better!

Plastics seem to be causing huge concern among scientist today, in some cases it is actually the plastic  a container is made out of  and how that certain type of plastic can be broken down over time into foods, the recent alarm by scientist is compounds used in plastics that would otherwise be considered safe, such a plastic wraps for an example, except for  they have found the chemicals used that make these plastics soft ( plasticisers) are what is breaking down into the foods.  Although used in small amounts these would be considered safe what has them concerned is the overall popularity of use, (as in  you buy a sandwich wrapped in plastic, your meat wrapped in plastic, you wrap your leftovers in plastics)  it no longer becomes a small amount of exposure, especially to infants and small children whom over a period of time this can have reproductive effects in their future.

You almost need a degree in plastics now to understand the various applications and use of plastics as they find more creative ways to break down plastics for use, up to and including a lot of the containers that are sprayed with plastics coatings in fast food items that people often mistake for wax coating and how this all adds into the equation of the effects on one's health as they age from infancy to adulthood.
