オーガニックみつろうエコラップを作ろう！

For the first time, I learned that plastic was so deeply involved in environmental issues.

The convenience plastic rubbish that I have used in the past, often ends up in the ocean and so our food (fish) has become a threat to the human body. I have been eating fish thinking it was good for my health.
I didn’t think it was so serious, so I was not worried about what kind of world there would be in the future.
Nowadays, I try not to use plastic products such as single use plastic bags. They are easy to use, but now I try not to buy them. I carry my own bag as well.
On the other hand, however, I find that many of my favourite products that I used to buy use a lot of plastic, and I am having a hard time finding alternatives.
I sometimes wonder how much change I can make to society with my single effort. But that’s why workshop by KoKeBee is necessary. I hope that as many people as possible will participate in this workshop all over the world.

I knew the news that plastic was polluting the sea, but in the meantime I hadn’t done much about it. However, I was feeling a vague worry about the future, “What the world would be like when the children grow up?”

After the workshop, I was shocked to find that it took years for plastic to return to the soil, and that even the paper cups I used casually, take 100 years to decompose.
After that, when I don’t have my own cup, I decided not to buy coffee outside, and I try not to use disposable food storage wraps as much as possible. My everyday life changed to eco-friendly. I try to choose products that can be used repetitively, avoiding disposable products as much as possible.

I’ve always been interested in plastic issues, but I wasn’t familiar with them and vaguely imagined the environmental impact of rubbish and plastic products in the future. However, by participating in the workshop of KoKeBee, I was able to learn concretely “how plastics get returned to the soil,” and “how long it takes to be processed”, I started thinking about environmental issues.

Up until now, I used to hold rice balls with disposable plastic food wraps because it’s so convenient, but after I attended the workshop, I started to use my hand instead of wraps and hold it with salt. I would like to increase applying more options that do not use plastic products such as disposable plastic food wraps.

Humans pollute the earth, animals and sea creatures that cannot avoid that harm. —- It is an environmental problem that gets worse year by year, I feel so anxious thinking of this vicious cycle if it continues.
In my own daily life, I have been making efforts such as “not to use straws,” “use my own cup for coffee,” “bring my own bag for shopping,” etc. However, I became more aware of the seriousness of plastic harm after taking this workshop.

From then on, I can’t use plastic goods, and it’s not the easiest thing to keep going. However, I have come to think, “Even small things, starting and make it a habit will create a difference”
