Oneless Planet

Oneless is a project of Krata, a strategic consultancy that supports the application of ideas to develop sustainable lifestyles and their adoption into the mainstream.

The Oneless Proposition is that we should find eco friendly alternatives to everyday objects whose production and waste pollutes our land and waterways. They should also be fairly traded and honestly promoted. See www.oneless.co.uk more information.

The initial focus of Oneless is the reuse of shopping bags represented by the brand, 'Onelessplasticbag'. We are working on other alternatives and in the meantime, have the following suggestions:

Onelesstampon >> Use a Mooncup

Onelessplasticcontainer >> Use a bowl with a plate on top and reuse jam jars

Onelessnappybag >> Tip poo into toilet, fold the nappy up using its fasteners to close and wrap it in a sheet of newspaper

Onelessdisposablenappy >> Use reusable nappies. You can do a month trial for free.

Onelesspartyplate >> When having a party, you can buy crockery, cutlery and glasses very cheaply from a charity store and take them back again after the party.

Onelessrecycledkitchen >> While kitchens made from recycled plastics are well intentioned, the recycling process is still both polluting and energy depleting. It would be better to get down to your local second hand store, buy a dresser and cupboards there and get a joiner to make up the fitted sections using reclaimed wood. In Manchester, you can get a £2500 wooden kitchen fitted by a local joiner.

Let us know any more suggestions for this growing list.
