Qactus une dos mundos: la basura y la tecnología 3D

Esta semana invitamos a los chicos de Qactus a escribir un blog sobre su trabajo!

La impresión 3D llegó a revolucionar la forma en que se producen y compran las cosas, puesto que permite fabricar objetos de manera local, personalizada y a bajo costo.

Guest Blog from Christine Wong of Conscious Cooking and Yommme

Two weeks ago, to kick off Clean Up The World Weekend and the Ocean Conservancy’s Coastal Cleanup here in New York City, I thought I would watch “A Plastic Ocean” which was recommended to me by a friend on Instagram who lives in Australia.

While I have always been eco-conscious in that I bring my glass water bottle and my own bags everywhere to go shopping; I frequent the farmers’ market and am a member of a local CSA (community-supported agriculture); I recycle my packaging; and I compost my food scraps, the movie made me realize how much MORE I need to do, as does the rest of the world. When I traveled to Asia this summer, it broke my heart to see in a supermarket, that less than a dozen food items were free from packaging of any sort. We live in a downward spiral of a “disposable” world. What can we do to change this?

In 2014 the State of California passed the United State’s first statewide ban on single-use plastic grocery bags.

Big Plastic is at it again, this time spending millions of dollars to reverse the ban before it becomes law.
