Things have been a little fraught at GG Towers so it was a great delight to find ghost egg boxes in local shops. By ghost egg boxes we mean the plastic ones that are slowly replacing the pulp packaging ones we have grown up with. The reason for the change, well the powers that be have wanted to get rid of pulp boxes for some time now as they were seen to be host to bugs that cause sickness when an egg breaks and the contents seep into the pulp box.
The new plastic boxes are lighter, tougher and have a low carbon foot print. One of the users is Oaklands of Shropshire who have a delightful lady of words Becca, who told me that the company are pleased with the cartons and other plastic pots they use for yoghurt and other grocery items are assured by plastics Europe and British Plastics Federation. All items are able to be recycled and have health benefits that out weight the pulp boxes.
So after all plastic may not be as bad as once thought – it even has a predator in the form of an enzyme that, for now, lives at the bottom of the sea chomping plastic as it falls to the floor of the sea. However, some doom and gloomers fear that the enzyme would destroy our world should it ever make land. Have a look at the next piece on grow yourself healthy...
All the best from the Green Ghost Towers
