Re: How to be a greener consumer in Cambodia
Aluminum cans are fine, but I dislike the metallic feeling. Whatever I drink, it has to be poured into a glass first, be it a bottle or a can. Can't remember the last time I used a straw as well... Some tissue to wipe the rim of any glass, then it's a go.
Personally, I like how glass bottles look. Any glass bottle. And I don't throw them away. Have a decent sized collection at home.
I'm not crazy about sending stuff for recycling, however, I reused everything. Plastic bags, broken umbrellas, broken gear, bottles, plastic containers, old wires, old belts, handbags, ice cream sticks, empty pens... I could be mistaken for a hoarder... but it's a personal thing. Sometimes, just even an art project. And they do come in useful when doing some diy projects and fixing stuff... a recent fix was using my old leather belt and old shoes to dampen the noise from the bases of all my tables and chairs.
Regarding beer tastes, I find myself craving a hazelnut stout often. And when I'm out of the country, I miss the taste of Angkor over ice. Would buy a crate back home, but the taxes are crazy.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

Glass.
Easily recycled back into the system, collector makes a buck, tastes better than anything.
How is the anti-single use plastic bag "intention" going? And the latest anti-litter campaign?
'See any results on the streets?
