M<\/span>y aspirations to reduce my waste to the smallest amount possible (read: zero) shall be promoted also in the new year. I particularly like making things myself so I sewed handkerchiefs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To be honest, I’ve never really questioned tissues. They serve their purpose and real alternatives (except the good old nasal douche<\/a>) do not exist to clean one’s nose quickly and on the go. But disposable tissues cause waste. Even if they are compostable, they need a long time to decompose and they are known to be packed in plastic. For people who are also plagued by allergies and hay fever, like me, quickly a lot of garbage emerges which can be easily avoided.<\/p>\n
