Thought and (action) for the day

Posted on 10 May 2007

For those of you who buy your milk in plastic cartons for convenience or in the belief that organic milk only comes in that form think again ! I moved house about 6 weeks ago and was determined to start having milk delivered. I rang the dairy and made my order and just as I was about to put the phone down asked if they did organic milk. To my suprise they did and sure enough the next day I had organic milk in a resusable bottle delivered by an electrical vehicle by a local company. How green is that ?

So for those of you who wish to banish those plastic cartons from your life and have 5 minutes to spare get the yellow pages out now. You will be supporting a local company, local farmers and reducing waste at the same time. Not to mention the social benefits of having the milkman/lady in your community-but that’s another story….

    In Sweden we don’t have that service, always when I’m in UK and see those bottles outside the doors I think “I want that”. I buy “green” milk though..

    It’s great that you’ve found a good way to get organic milk. Sounds like fun to have milk delivered :) I don’t think there’s a lot of options for organic milk over here, though. :(
