00:00A picnic can generate a lot of waste,
00:02waste that can be found in nature,
00:04but which are also not recyclable in general.
00:06And yet, with a minimum of organization,
00:08you can have a picnic with zero waste.
00:20The first reflex when you want to reduce your waste
00:22in the context of a picnic is to go to a junk shop.
00:24You don't necessarily go there,
00:26but they also sell appetizer cakes or drinks.
00:30Hello.
00:32Hello.
00:34I'd like to have some appetizer cakes, please.
00:36Okay.
00:38So, you have some natural taralli,
00:40some onion taralli,
00:42and you can also have some spicy croutons.
00:44So, I'd like to have some paprika taralli, please.
00:46Yes.
00:48Should I put them in this little bag?
00:50Yes.
00:54Would you like anything else?
00:56Yes, I'd like some wine, please.
00:58Some wine?
01:08Thank you very much.
01:10Some beer brands also offer
01:12designated packaging,
01:14so you can bring the bottle back once you've used it.
01:16Thank you. Goodbye.
01:24Another tip to avoid
01:26putting everything in a bag
01:28is to put yourself behind the stove
01:30and cook yourself.
01:32Today, I made a salty pie and a salty cake.
01:34All I had to do was put them in the oven.
01:42You might think it's complicated like that,
01:44but you can find very easy recipes on the Internet
01:46of things to do in the oven
01:48but also pasta salads or sandwiches.
01:50For dessert, you can also make
01:52cakes, sweet pies.
01:54I made a compote.
01:56Or you can simply buy fruits
01:58that are already naturally packaged.
02:02For transportation, we're going to try
02:04to avoid everything that is stretch film,
02:06aluminum foil,
02:08or even plastic bags
02:10by using reusable containers
02:12like Tupperware or Boko.
02:14But there are also other alternatives
02:16that are just as practical.
02:18This is a fabric coated with bee wax.
02:20It's a reusable food packaging.
02:22I made it myself, but you can buy it
02:24in the store.
02:26For sandwiches, there are two types of reusable bags.
02:28The square ones
02:32and the baguette ones.
02:36Both are washable.
02:38One of the most common waste in nature
02:40is disposable compote containers.
02:42There's not a lot of compote inside
02:44and a lot of plastic.
02:46It's very difficult to recycle.
02:48And yet, there are reusable alternatives
02:50like this type of compote
02:52that you can fill yourself.
02:56To not use plastic bottles,
02:58you're obviously going to use
03:00your traditional gourd.
03:06And if you have trouble with the taste of tap water,
03:08you can use an active piece of coal
03:10to put it in the water.
03:12It makes the water taste neutral.
03:20Hi!
03:22Hi!
03:24Hi!
03:26Well, we only have this one.
03:30To avoid everything
03:32that's covered in plastic
03:34you can bring your own dish
03:36from home.
03:38And if you're afraid that it's too heavy
03:40for transport, you can ask everyone
03:42to bring their own material.
03:44For everything that's drinks,
03:46you can buy reusable containers
03:48If you're more than one,
03:50you can ask your local community
03:52to lend you reusable dishes
03:54for bigger events.
03:56To replace paper towels,
03:58you can use fabric towels
04:00that you can use to wrap your sandwiches.
04:06What's that?
04:08Paprika taralli.
04:10Do you want some?
04:19Let's go!
04:28After the picnic, nothing to throw away,
04:30we just have to bring everything back
04:32to wash it for the next time.
