Deplasticizing your Home:

With ever-increasing evidence mounting against the justification of continued production and promotion of plastic (...read “oil”) consumption in today's world, the Tupperware© Lady must be starting to feel like an endangered species! It is time to move into the 21^st century by outfitting your home with healthy, eco-conscious alternatives that will give you peace of mind knowing you've provided the safest possible environment for your family and that you've done right by this fragile planet of ours. Besides considering any or all of the fine products made by Sanctus Mundo (available at LifeWithoutPlastic.com and other retailers across North America), there are many ways to make the transition from a plastic-dependent to a plastic-free life style:

The ubiquitous plastic bag is a case in point, one which has had detrimental effects on wildlife and which upon reaching the landfill, gradually contaminates our soil and water supplies. Fortunately, North Americans are finally beginning to adopt the good habit of using re-usable durable bags for their groceries. Ways to avoid plastic in your household:

- Reduce garbage by buying only products sold in compostable packaging.

- Buy bulk! Most natural food bulk stores these days allow you to bring your own jars to fill.

- Opting for compostable kitchen garbage bags.

- Capturing your garbage in a durable container, then transferring it to a paper bag on garbage pick-up day.

- Honour your grandmother! Use parchment or wax paper to wrap sandwich meats and cheeses.

- Embrace the “bento”, other non-plastic lunch containers, and cloth snack bags, instead of relying on those pesky ziplocks.

- Plastic tampon applicators and plastic-lined baby diapers should really be taken off the market! Go for natural products! There is a renewed popularity in the use of “Diva” or “Keeper” cups made of silicone or natural rubber for women seeking a garbage-free means to manage their menstruation.

Deplasticizing your Business:

You're the boss, now take the lead! By encouraging your employees to be eco-conscious and by providing them with the means to make the right choices you'll be earning their respect and setting off a domino effect of positive energy around your workplace:

- Encourage your employees to go plastic-free with their lunches.

- Make sure you have a toaster-oven available for those wanting to avoid micro-waves and plastic containers.

- Ensure that potable water is easily accessible either from non-plastic dispensers, or from the tap, and encourage everyone to bring their own non-plastic water bottles.

- Use non-plastic and recycled packing materials for shipping parcels.

- If you're looking for great employee Christmas gift ideas, just have a look through Sanctus Mundo's catalogue.

Deplasticizing your Event or Festival:

Make the shift now! There is an ever-growing movement among environmentally-conscious festival and event organizers to do away with plastic bottles as well as those very wasteful disposable stryrofoam or plastic containers and dishware.

- Sanctus Mundo's line of durable and classic stainless steel water dispensers are a truly practical solution to your festival goer's need to replenish his or her stainless steel water bottle with clean, fresh water.

- Stainless steel plates and cups are a great alternative to plastic disposables. They can be sold as event fundraiser items or loaned out at the “food court” for a returnable fee. Rest assured that these high quality products are an excellent long-term investment for your yearly event since they are incredibly durable and will last forever!

- Take it one step further and have Sanctus Mundo's line of airtight or tiffin containers conveniently available for those wishing to buy a quality food container/doggie-bag to tote snacks and left-overs around during a weekend event, and beyond.

Deplasticizing your Catering Business:

“...the flavor was rich and layered, like a mild, buttery broth at first, quickly fading into a deeply succulent smokeyness that hung on for several seconds before finally being punctuated by the unmistakeable taste of...polyethylene.” Anonymous

- Encourage your kid's parents to go plastic-free when packing lunches and liquids.

- Do away with the microwave and plastic containers altogether, and opt for glass, ceramic or stainless steel for reheating food in a toaster-oven.

Deplasticizing your Spa:

Ahhh...the Spaaa. Where all the stresses of crazy living in a delirious world dissolve away and the soothing, tactile simplicity of the experience fosters a calming sense of wellness in body and mind... Doesn't the fact that your water comes in a plastic bottle spoil the feeling? Spas use enormous amounts of plastic water bottles for their customer use. Keep your clients feeling good Karma with every detail throughout their stay. Use Sanctus Mundo's line of durable and classic imported stainless steel water dispensers with reusable water bottles or tumblers. A truly practical and environmental solution to replenish with clean, fresh water without damaging the environment. If you have access to good tap water, why not install water fountains?
