Green Corner: Zero Plastic Waste Yogurt
Love Yogurt, Hate the Plastic Waste?
Lots of us love yogurt, but don’t like having to buy it in plastic tubs. Yes, most (but not all) yogurt tubs can be recycled, but the lids cannot. And, there’s a significant carbon footprint in the making of those plastic tubs.
The solution?? Make your own yogurt! It’s not hard, and you don’t need a special yogurt maker. At the request of a Green Corner reader, click here for instructions.It may seem small, but every time you avoid plastic, you’ve prevented use of fossil fuels, avoided the landfill, and you’ve sent a message to manufacturers. To make a stronger statement, send a letter to your favorite yogurt brand and tell them why you’ll no longer buy yogurt in plastic tubs.
