Perhaps there’s a bit of Jet in them: “If a girl looks stunning when she meets you, who gives a damn if she's late?”

The stage lights come on so that the crew can find every spot of rogue blood spray, and it is then that the massive structure just left of video village comes into full view. It’s the back of Apocalypse’s main set — a post-apocalyptic bunker that also serves as a warlock academy.

They have a bamboo spork for €2.75 to keep as reusable cutlery to go with my keep cup. Packaging-free vegetables, tins of coconut milk, beans and jars of peanut butter and pesto will all go into our meals this week. A roll of biodegradable dog-poo bags, made from corn, is the final essential piece.

Balkan imagines we’ll see some of the concepts of zero waste embraced by more conventional retailers. We might see bulk or plastic-free aisles in supermarkets, much the way we see an organic aisle in stores like Walmart. Indeed, Europe's first plastic-free supermarket aisle debuted last year in Amsterdam.

'Putting yourself with people that you love and that's really the theme of tonight,' the Chicago-born blonde said during her speech captured by DJ Hannah Fallis Bronfman.  

The lessons from our week? Living without plastic takes more time and planning that it does money. Shampoo bars last longer if you let them dry out between uses. January is probably not the best time to road-test a deodorant bar. Cold tapwater from a Chilly’s flask is so much better than stale water from a plastic bottle. Ditching plastic means supporting smaller shops and producers. Eliminating plastic entirely is difficult but reducing it is beginning to feel increasingly possible.

Indeed, plastic purgers need to rearrange their lives to avoid the offending material. If a restaurant serves food only on plastic plates, they won’t eat there. Fast food? Most wrappers contain plastic. Smoothies from a juice bar? Unless they put the smoothie in a stainless steel cup, move on or make your own at home. Bread? Buy it from a local bakery to avoid fresh-seal bags.

With unique flavors like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Crème De Banana, Italian Egg Nog, S’more and Lavender Vanilla, the cafe says they wanted to offer something for everyone’s palate.

“If you have other aromas and tastes that shouldn’t be in there, and don’t belong to fresh olives, then you’ve got a problem.”

Climate resilience is central to Straus Family Creamery’s current sustainability programs. Driven by the dairy sector’s methane emissions as a global environmental threat, Albert Straus has become a leader in climate-positive farming practices. He has implemented California’s first carbon farm plan on a dairy and is working to develop and trial a replicable dairy model where climate emissions are zero (carbon neutral) by 2022. Working towards this goal since 2004 –when he installed one of the state’s first methane digesters – the carbon farm plan increases the farm’s soil health through rotational grazing practices and the use of compost. Around 320 metric tons of CO2e is sequestered from the atmosphere back into the soil through carbon farming practices.
