Nice Package and Sqeezy Does it

This month I have taken up butter because it comes wrapped in paper rather than in a plastic tub. Now I know there are issues with butter - animal fat and all that but I have decided I will just have to use very little occasionally as a treat.
The Good Packaging Guide
This made me think about good packaging.
For those of you who would like to be plastic free I am putting together a good packaging guide. Please do remember that in my book good packaging is biodegradable but the best packaging is of course no packaging.
The guide can be found on my other blogsite

Squeezy Does It
Do you remember back in the old days when a squeezy bottle full of cold water and your enemies, the vile Roberts brothers, about to walk past your cunningly concealed ambush, was the height of fun. Obviously arming your troops was of paramount importance and demand for weapons was high. These days of course, the availability of high powered water pistols and the fact that I am actually an adult, has meant I no longer need to stockpile empty, washing-up liquid bottles.
In fact, as they are of course plastic, they need to be eradicated from my life.
I did try to use soap flakes to wash up. Though I was assured this was possible, I did not find it a pleasant experience. I also tried using soap flakes to make washing up liquid - again not a success. Then I found that I can get my ecover washing up liquid bottle refilled at my local health food shop.
So though the bottle is indeed plastic it can be reused many many times.
