“A circular economy is one that builds economic, natural and social capital” (petco.co.za).
Plastic bottles are valuable and aren’t actually waste. In modern times, packaging is necessary to get the product to the consumer, but once it has served its purpose, packaging is considered dirty and unwanted.
As an example of how recycled plastic is used, Isotherm is an insulating material that’s made entirely from recycled plastic bottles.
Traditional homes usually have ceiling insulation that’s made from fibre glass or asbestos, which isn’t environmentally friendly at all. Isotherm is an eco-friendly and effective alternative.
Isotherm is dust and water resistant, non-toxic, without associated health risks, non-flammable and lasts longer than most other insulating materials.
The humble plastic bottle is humble no more.
Is it then farfetched to Recycle, Reduce, Reuse and ending up living in a green smart home and eco friendly house, driving a green smart car, working in a green smart office, and living in a green smart city?
During my mid-adult years I became interested in recycling, and after several failed attempts I gave up.
Many years later with my life-partner we successfully implemented recycling.
We took our lifestyle further when we developed an eco-friendly home.
In my mid-adult years I became vegetarian.
After a cholesterol-induced mild heart attack we changed our eating habits and stopped consuming foods and drinks which are considered to add to cholesterol. At the same time we switched to consuming zero added sugar foods and drinks. We cut our added sugar intake to less than 5%
Shortly afterward, we started practicing various types of fasting and introduced regular, though modest exercising.
Our journey culminated into providing the following services based on our life experiences and the benefits we derived:
* Healthy Eating
* Healthy Fasting
* Healthy Exercising
* Eco Friendly Living
