Some things also drift into esotericism, for example, a house provider offers "Vital...tiles" made of healing earth and Grander water. Another offers electrosmog protection and property analyses for disturbance fields/waves/rays. There is no medical basis for this, but it sells well.

This is not problematic at all, it just requires a change in thinking; I have been handling it this way for years. This kind of shopping is only more expensive at first glance.

I unfortunately also fail with plastic in children's toys – Lego and especially Playmobil are indispensable in my granddaughter’s playroom. Recently also those horribly ugly Barbies :confused: I hope that the plastic toys will someday please the next child and won’t just be discarded, which unfortunately is common nowadays.

I would always be cautious with certificates like "Ecologically harmless" or "recommended for building biology." has, in my opinion, reduced it to the essentials with his point 3. I consider point 2 not feasible, because the average user simply lacks the knowledge to assess individual products from their production process; to verify certificates. I have been in the world too long to just believe :D

Just as an example, yogurt comes in glass jars, but the lid is coated with plastic on the inside. Or is there any other yogurt? Or is this an exception, or do you simply not buy yogurt? (This is not a criticism or an attack, just curiosity or a subtle hint that avoiding plastics is not that simple.)

At least I consider Lego completely harmless, it has been around for generations and lasts just as long ;-).

Cans that contain aluminum and under certain conditions (if condition A and B are met, etc. -> but it is possible) are many times more problematic than plastic.

Hello,


Of course I buy yogurt, and it took me a while to realize that yogurt in a glass jar is only half the battle and the "devil," i.e., plasticizers, are hidden in the lid.

By now, however, many manufacturers use so-called "Blueseal" lids. They should actually be identifiable by the inner blue rim; but only actually. For example, with Landliebe® it is simply white. I am hopeful that this will improve with European harmonization because in France, Bisphenol A has been generally banned for the production of food container lids since 2015. I use Tupper® when buying cold cuts and meat; they only use this chemical in products that are not heated anymore. So things are progressing.


I don’t take it that way; no worries!

It’s also not like I’m an eco-freak; it originally started because I simply got fed up with the mountains of trash created during shopping and wanted to avoid it as much as possible. You might imagine that I was looked at pretty strangely during the first months when I got rid of the secondary packaging right in the store or handed my Tupper® containers over the meat counter :D Today it’s common practice; the food suppliers provide separation systems at the exit.


That’s reassuring to me too, and honestly? Playing with Lego is just fun ;)

Rhenish greetings

above all, the new Lego Duplos still fit with the old pieces.

What is healthy is a tricky matter.
Wooden toys are sometimes more contaminated than plastic toys
Children’s dishes made from bio-plastic perform terribly poorly
and my little one puts everything in her mouth that comes her way.
I don’t even want to think about what all dissolves there

Living completely biologically, ecologically, and sustainably is probably not possible.
Everyone has to find a compromise for themselves.
It definitely helps. One tries to reduce waste, the next pays attention to animal welfare, and the one after that to a possibly smaller CO² footprint.
