We have been packing a box to be shipped to the dam. There are loads of things in the box, some of which need some packing peanuts for cushioning. Being practical, we know packing peanuts are of no use to us at the dam. They would be going into the recycling bin, only that they do not have peanut recycling bins!
So, we thought that instead of shipping something we are going to throw away anyway, we replaced it with...
Yes, you did not see wrong. Pocket tissues. They are a wee bit heavier but we know we would be using them in the dam. Hear us out. A huge value pack of pocket tissues here cost us a mere S$2.70 (64 packets). Cheap as chips if you ask us.
Pocket tissues are not exactly popular at the other side of the world where they do not need to use ridiculous packets of pocket tissues to 'reserve' their seats or tables at food centres here in Singapore. A value pack of Tempo pocket tissues (6 or 8 packets) which are their premium choice of pocket tissues and probably even the only brand, cost something like €3plus? Isn't that suppose to be the price of meat?
So, there you go. That is our 'green' alternative of packing peanuts. And no, we are not going to 'reserve' seats with those pocket tissues. We have more sense to reserve them for a better etiquette, like wiping our mouths after a meal or blowing our noses when we are out.
