Marianna Boyko's book "104 days without polyethylene"
Have you ever tried to give up polyethylene? No, no, you didn't understand: from any possible polyethylene, even the one in which your medicines and hygiene items are wrapped. Just try to see how much of it is in your home - in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and even on the balcony. Today, we all know that polyethylene pollutes the environment and harms our health, but not everyone can give it up for even a few weeks. Marianna Boyko accepted this challenge after spending 104 days without the usual plastic things. How to go shopping without any package? How to deal with shampoos and cosmetics? And what to do if a caring saleswoman in the market persistently packs your vegetables in a bag, saying in surprise: "Daughter, it's free"? The author conducted her experiment in Ukrainian realities and willingly shares life hacks on how not only to give up the use of polyethylene, but also to become an eco-blogger and help others realize the importance of reducing garbage on the planet.
