Styrofoam takes 500 years to break down .

Banana leaves …..6weeks. And they make your food taste better .

Tell me again why we switched?

We didn’t need science to go green , we need memory. Our grandparents wrapped Kenkey in leaves long before sustainability became a buzzword.

Now that styrofoam is getting banned the future of packaging is literally out past.

As a dietitian, I believe that the healthiest packaging solutions is one that protects both human health and the environment.

When His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, the president of the Republic of Ghana, announced the banning of styrofoam as a food packaging material next year, I felt seen ;

Because what we eat matters, but how it’s packaged matters too. Our health is more than what’s in the food. It’s also what the food touches.
Microplastics are affecting the health of many today and change begins from making the right swaps and adjustments.

What packaging material to you suggest ?
