Issue #1
Who let my fish loose?
Of course, we can use reusable water
bottles and invest in a filter, but just
taking the demand and need on drinking
water into consideration, all of the
efforts become relatively small when
one looks at a post-marathon site that is
filled with single-use plastic cups.
Ooho has taken the world by storm after
their campaign launched with the aim
to raise 400,000GBP, (They ended up
raising twice the ammount). It is an edible,
raindrop shaped sack that contains
the water inside of its thin membrane.
This "method" has been used for years
and it is called Modular gastronomy. It
is often used to spherify certain deserts
that are too liquidy to take on solid
shape. Ooho is a great idea that can
really help reduce the use of plastic.
The best part about Ooho is, that it has
the potential to be homemade. While
the creators are working and developing
the recipe in such way that it can be
more durable and hygenic, the current
Ohoo recipe can be used at home. The
reason why this is great is because Ooho
edible bottles will have the potential to
be produced locally - with ease of ingridients
that cant be found anywhere.
This, if nothing else will at least reduce
rising carbon footpring that transporting
plastic waterbottle is eifnitly one of the
top contrbutors to.
Nearly half of plastic
bottles used by British
households are never
recycled
