7 Ways to Reduce Plastic in Your Kitchen
The kitchen is the most significant area of the house. After all, from the hot brewing coffee that kick-starts, our day to the food that we enjoy after coming back from work gets cooked here. This part of the house is where we satiate our hunger pangs and midnight cravings. But, get a closer look at it and you will find that it is also where the plastic items reside, that too in bulk.
From polybags to plastic cutlery you will definitely notice how much plastic actually surrounds you. They are taking over our kitchens entirely and having an impact on our health as well as our planet. But thankfully to biodegradable disposable tableware, it is possible to reduce and eliminate the use of single-use plastic. So here are 7 fuss-free ways to be more eco-friendly and energy-efficient in the kitchen:
Be a Smart Cook
Cooking delicious food is one thing, but cooking the entire meal while saving energy, is an eco-friendly art. And, to be aware of the correct cooking techniques is equally important. Cook a dish in closed lid vessels, as it will help you save a lot of energy as well as time.
Use Left-over Food
Throwing left-over food was never a part of Indian culture. We Indians are famous all over the world for our recycling abilities and this is why we would want you to get creative with your culinary abilities. Use the leftover food in making a yummy breakfast for yourself and your family.
Compost Stale Food
Try to cook food in a sufficient quantity, however, if you are still left with food scraps and leftovers; use them to prepare the compost- which is another way of running an eco-friendly kitchen aside from using eco-friendly disposable plates.
Use Biodegradable Disposable Tableware
Make every party and social gathering more enjoyable by using compostable catering trays, biodegradable paper bowls, sugarcane pulp plates, disposable wooden spoons and biodegradable boxes instead of plastic cutlery!
Carry Jute Bags
Say goodbye to polybags and replace them with cloth or jute bags. Jute or a cloth bag is reusable, washable and foldable too. Keep one inside your bag, so that you don`t have to carry grocery items in a gross plastic bag.
