This writing is for Eugi’s Moonwashed Weekly prompt March 11 2025:
I took inspiration from the light bulb in the image.
The light bulb is a novel and popular container. Many years back, I was at a fair when I was approached to buy a sustainable product. It was shampoo made from the waste products of brewed beer, held inside a light bulb. It was an artificial bulb casing, made from plastic, and without the wire filaments for lighting the bulb. It looked so good that I was tempted to buy it.
Later at home, I examined the light bulb closely. In trying to promote a shampoo made from recycled waste, a non-degradable plastic bulb had to be made to contain this small amount of washing detergent. This isn’t entirely eco-friendly or sustainable. I resolved not to continue buying this product.
Eugi’s Moonwashed Weekly prompt on Tuesdays. This Tuesday’s Moonwashed prompt.
Good for you for analyzing the product thoroughly and sharing the outcome. I’m sure this could be true of many products where the container is not eco-friendly or sustainable.
I love that you are mindful of what you buy and its impact on our world. Thanks for sharing!
