In developed countries, the average person produces about two kilograms of garbage per day; This pollution multiplies alarmingly on those occasions when our routine changes a little and we carry out activities as simple as going to the supermarket or escaping for a picnic with the family. We are a destructive walking pollution machine that leaves waste wherever it goes because of disposable products! Not only does our consumption leave much to be desired in terms of moderation, but it has caused irreparable damage, so much so that an “insignificant” plastic bag will continue to affect future generations for another 450 years, the duration of its disintegration process.
It’s all due to a dishonest marketing strategy in which certain companies invest extra in their packaging to justify expenses and sell their products more expensive just because of the “excellent protection and quality they give you”. In other words, an apple from the supermarket bathed in wax, papered, wrapped in plastic and stored in a nice tray with the legend “straight from the orchard”, will cost you three times more than a fruit actually cut from the tree and put on sale in a local market. If you choose to buy the first one of the two options… Let us tell you, the problem is you.
