A Tribute to mom & Raymond

Use the packaging for what it is intended for.
Do not cook canned food. By heating cans of e.g. fire or grill, they can be heated to temperatures for which they are not designed, and harmful substances can be released from the paint on the inside of the cans or from the printing ink on the outside of the cans.
Always store food jars upright. Then the food does not come into contact with any bisphenol A in the lid.

How well do you know about waste segregation, upcycling, recycling and burning of trash that turns to energy?1
Unconsiously, we are already aware that trash doesn’t just dissolve under the ground or under water. If you are in doubt, reach out to your municipality about the plans for waste management. Read United Nation’s Article about Water Scarcity2.
Good quality clothes and textiles are a good choice.

The process of sorting and burning waste
“Posefiltre” / Bag filter
This process removes the particle dust, heavy metals, dioxins, hydrochloric acid (HCI) and sulfur dioxide (SO2)
I imagines it as our digestive system that filters the unnecessary chemicals or ingredients in our food that our body intakes.
There might be certain ways of segregating waste in every region or in multiple municipalities3. In our region, six municipalities works together with AffaldPlus as the resposible entity in collecting, segregating and turning waste to energy that is beneficial for both the local community and the environment. Excess energy produced is sent out of the neighboring countries for their electrical consumption.
