What an inspiring effort! We are such a wasteful, throwaway society in the "developed" world. I visited Delhi in India in the 1990s, and I was really impressed by the number of people who made a living from recycling things people had thrown away.
Another thing that impressed me was the yogurt sold in small clay pots at railway stations. After eating the yogurt, the thin clay pots could be thrown away, as they would just disintegrate. So much less wasteful than plastic.

Thanks for your comment and story. Sometimes the most basic solutions like those pots are all we need.
I've been posting blog entries with examples for almost 2 years now. This was one of my shorter ones, so please stay tuned if this is up your alley.
I literally have thousands of examples like this I've sold for income, but when push comes to shove, I'd prefer sustainable products that aren't designed to fall apart so consumers are forced to replace them... or people who try to repair/sell/repurpose what they'd normally dispose of.
I totally agree. Planned obsolescence is a nightmare for all of us! Things should be made to last.
