Walking around in Taipei you’ll notice that everything is wrapped in plastic. Everything is given to you on little plastic bags. Sometimes you get plastic bags for something in a plastic bag.

Also the high concentration of bubble tea and milk tea shops are also producing a ton of plastic waste.
I drank two already but I hope I don’t get into the temptation to buy another one of these.
Some Taiwanese people carry their teas in small holding-bags made of cotton instead of plastic, a new type of making those bags more stylish. It’s good but way too less.

If you’re there please don’t forget to still be as ecological as possible. Don’t stop thinking about the waste just because you’re in on vacation.
And if they’re thicker plastic bags, take them with you and reuse them for further purposes.
