You might also if you can send a letter or get all your earth friendly friends to send letters or approach a city council..not sure how your country works.

Thanks, Jan! I do actually take my lunch in a box

. The problem is that Israel is lots of years behind on the recycling issue. People are like "oh, we have plastic bags - cool! Let's use them as much as possible!". When i mentioned that i'd prefer to get cloth diapers whenever i have a baby (i can get some on eBay), everyone looked at me like i dropped from the moon or something... Nobody can realize the mount of diapers each baby produces

There is a "green" student society in my university, but the biggest thing they've achieved was that the cafeterias won't sell coffee in plastic cups

. But I promise to try my best!
