RE: Words that transform actions that last

It's an interesting book, sometimes many things can't be changed, for example in Mercadona everything comes in plastic and sub-plastics haha.

But if I always buy everything from a greengrocer not from Mercadona, I avoid plastics, I take my own bag or trolley. I walk a lot unless it is too far then I use the bus. I try to use as little plastic as possible and if I want to move out of the city centre! But renting is very complicated at the moment.
I want my own vegetable garden, my own fruit trees and all that. I used to have it before and I will work to make it happen.

It's very difficult sometimes to change everything unfortunately.

True. That is why we should try to do small steps at least.

And then we should buy less in Mercadona (and other chains as well) but but but, even aware of the problem and having in mind my own experiment, I failed in my mission. I managed to go a few times to the fresh food market (en tres diferentes municipios porque tienen el mercadillo diferentes días) and buy there the vegetables and fruits but the other things I again bought in our familiar supermarket.

It's true that street markets are an alternative, I have my favourite fruit shop... it's a Chinese market but it's great and I love it! The rest is centralised and the mission becomes .... sometimes impossible, but don't worry, it's not your fault, that's the way it's laid out.
