"We produce a lot of waste. The company is a modern single-use and the concept of "make and mend" was relegated to history. Living on a boat means that we have a limited amount of space for storing food and fun. Children received a large plastic box for toys and each have a handbag for every outfit. When something is damaged or worn, we do what we can, because there are no shops in the sea Moreover, we limit the amount of packaging that take into account because it there is no trash in the sea We keep all our waste with us. Packing We try to avoid taking a large part of the ocean in the first place. For example, we bought a big box of vegetable market and ham and cheese came in large portion sizes. All the waste we produce are on board, the sailing instructions. The only thing we look at the sea of food wastes. Our main sources of waste is a wrap and boxes of food, which rinse in salt water, but they begin to feel. '
