Plastic roots

For the hunted people among us it is of course very easy to bring something in the supermarket that you can prepare quickly. Nothing fresh cut, no ready already together in a bag. I'm talking about carrots and onions together in a bag. At home, you can empty them over the pan where your potatoes are already waiting in. Brrr, have you ever used your nose properly opening that bag? It smells onion and not carrot... YUK, not to eat and that's because the onion smells stronger than the carrot.

Give me the winter roots where the clay is still on and the onions like to get off the land. Only at the Poeisz supermarket you can find those real carrots that you can also put in a paper bag (environmentally friendly). The carrots and onions together tastes like delicious stew.

Only I was at the Appie a while ago and to my surprise the roots were packed in plastic for 0.49 ct each, it should not be crazier anyway I thought. All that plastic around every piece of vegetables, simply absurd and that while Appie wanted to take the jackets off. (I read through Google) That project seems to me completely failed.

Why is there such a difference in packaging material in supermarkets, at one of them everything is sealed and at the other you just find it loose on the shelves. What do you prefer to buy? If you go for hygiene you get rid of it too, because there are bacilli that you come into contact with. It's just a matter of washing your vegetable well anyway before use. Where the vegetables lie loose in the sheep, you can remove a plastic bag from such a roll to put it in there. PLASTIC, why not a paper bag? Hello, think. We want to get rid of all that plastic...

Using plastic is often so superfluous and very harmful to nature, just like tin. So I am a supporter of deposit on cans and disposable plastic bottles, or put a container where you can put them in, but also on the vitamin drinking bottles of the Aldi and the plastic that is around them, you throw with the same ease in a bag that you can hand in in a packaging plastic container. Unfortunately we don't have it yet in Groningen. However, in the villages around us already. Last week I was at the vet in Peize and there they are! See picture. Isn't it time we started thinking about that here in Groningen?
