    Food Minimize Packaging
    With the added mindfulness of reducing your packaging, what have you noticed about the amount and type of single use plastics used for packaging when you shop in the grocery store?
    Kei Okano 7/30/2020 8:51 PM
    I use self self check out, because they (at the manned check out)  use too much plastic package.

    I watched the documentary "zoom back Ochiai".  in the program, Yoichi Ochiai said "human being controls the nature too much. We have fought against the nature. The covit-19 virus is due to the economic development and forest cutdowns. The virus should have  been kept in the nature." We should be a part of nature.

    I watched the documentary "edible city" which is now available on YOUTUBE free.  I agree that the foods are too much industrialized. They should be independent from economic system.
