Tea bags that can be discharged into food waste.

-
Even in Korea, where huge amounts of plastic are used every year, we can realize the change. Since last summer, coffee shops have been serving coffee in mugs instead of disposable containers.



You can also see paper straws that replace plastic straws or multi-use stainless steel straws. Starbucks Korea offers eco-friendly paper straws at all stores nationwide from the 26th. Not long ago, there was news that McDonald's in China was stopping providing plastic straws.

Also, voices calling for changing all food wrappers to eco-friendly ones are gaining strength. Foods that fill the shelves of large marts are usually made of materials that harm the environment, such as plastic, vinyl film, and paper. It rarely breaks down even when buried in the ground, and it makes the Earth sick.

The "2019 Food Trend" recently released by Hall Food, the largest eco-friendly food distributor in the U.S., also said, "The packaging of eco-friendly materials will become a trend."
Many companies were worried about eco-friendly packaging early on. So is Clipper, one of the leading tea makers in the UK. The company recently announced that it will apply 100% eco-friendly materials to its tea products that have been removed from plastic.

The teabags we inadvertently dip in hot water were not purely made of paper. The base material is pulp made by processing fiber extracted from wood, but it also mixes a small number of synthetic resins such as polypropylene and polyamide. To increase the heat resistance of the teabag and maintain its shape. For your information, coating the resin inside the paper cup to make it smooth.

According to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, using a teabag with synthetic resin is not a big problem. Because it's not harmful to the body. Although it is harmless to humans, it is definitely harmful to nature.

Just because it's made of eco-friendly materials, it's not something special to use. Put it in hot water and boil it well. However, the fact that used tea bags can be discharged into food waste is a crucial difference from the existing tea bags.

I also drink a lot of water at school or at home. When I drink water, it's too bad to just drink water, so I'm drinking tea continuously, so I'll always be careful when I drink it!!

Why a healthy diet saves the Earth?

  "To prevent climate change from collapsing, we should reduce beef consumption by 90 percent." The report is based on a recent report published in the world-renowned scientific journal Nature. If the current eating habits are not improved, the ecological environment will be destroyed beyond the reach of 10 billion people in 2050. This warns that a change in eating habits is not a "choice" but a "must" to prevent climate change. A small 'food revolution' that begins with food choices actually has a tremendous impact on the Earth. It's hard to believe, but this is to save the Earth, which is suffering from pollution in water, soil, air and sea. Healthy diets, in particular, are a necessary change for modern people who are overcalorie and undernourished. A plant-based diet, healthier organic purchases, and waste-free food preparation keep the body healthy while also saving the Earth. 　 1. Enjoy a vegetarian diet　 　 The aforementioned report is a ...

The meat tax that Europe is worried about, if we actually introduce it...?

  While European governments, including Denmark, Sweden and Germany, are considering the so-called meat tax, studies have shown that imposing heavy taxes on actual meat significantly reduces deaths and medical costs. The BBC and other foreign media reported on the 7th (local time) that a research team at Oxford University analyzed the impact of the introduction of "meat tax" on deaths and medical costs in 149 countries that consume meat. The researchers conducted the study assuming that the government of high-income countries imposes 20 percent tax on meat and 110 percent tax on meat processed foods. In doing so, consumers in high-income countries expected to cut meat consumption by two people a week. As a result, the number of deaths per year across the country will decrease by 220,000 and medical-related costs will decrease by 30.6 billion pounds (about 45 trillion won). The research team also predicted that if the British government applies 14 percent tax rates to meat and...

  The WWF announced on the 30th that it will publish Living Planet Report 2018 in 89 countries including Korea at the same time. The report, published every other year by WWF, comprehensively sheds light on the impact of various human consumption and development activities on species and forests, oceans, rivers and climate change throughout the globe. It is widely cited by various governments and research institutes as references. The contents of this year's report were analyzed based on the latest data collected until 2014. The Global Life Report revealed how excessive agriculture, foreign species and new diseases affected biodiversity, health and population. The "unsustainable development" of mankind has dealt an all-round blow to the oceans, forests, coral reefs and wetlands. Twenty percent of the Amazon jungle has disappeared in just 50 years, and coral reefs have halved in 30 years. In particular, the number of vertebrates living on Earth has decreased by 60 percent ...
