A supermarket in Thailand has demonstrated how something as simple as a banana leaf can replace unnecessary plastic packaging, offering a practical way to reduce waste without relying on expensive new materials.
At Rimping Supermarket in Chiang Mai, fresh vegetables including peppers, asparagus, and spring onions have been bundled inside banana leaves and secured with natural fiber ties. The initiative first attracted international attention in 2019, when photographs of the neatly wrapped produce spread across social media.
Banana leaves are particularly suitable for this purpose because they are large, flexible, and naturally resistant to moisture. Unlike conventional plastic wrappers, untreated banana leaves are biodegradable and can break down through natural decomposition under suitable conditions.
The idea also builds on a tradition that has existed across Southeast Asia for generations. Long before disposable plastic became common, communities used banana leaves to wrap food, transport ingredients, and prepare meals. The supermarket adapted this familiar practice for modern retail.
The environmental benefits could be significant when applied appropriately. Single-use plastic packaging is often discarded shortly after purchase, yet many plastic materials can persist in the environment for decades or longer. Replacing unnecessary wrappers with locally available plant materials can reduce demand for disposable plastics.
However, banana leaves are not suitable for every product. They have a limited shelf life, require appropriate hygiene practices, and may not be practical in regions where banana plants do not grow. Some photographed products also retained small plastic labels or wrapping components.
The initiative has inspired similar experiments in Vietnam and attracted attention from environmental organizations. Although it does not mean every supermarket in Thailand has abandoned plastic, it demonstrates how traditional materials can offer practical solutions to modern packaging problems.

100 and something Magical Story
When my children were young. Mind you, I had been raised on a farm and really did not get connected to cats because they always looked ruff. But one day as many animals did while living there, a cat walked in my house. I looked at the cat and fell in love with it. Cats are the highest consciousness of all of the the animals because they are loners.
Anyway, the cat stayed and I will share one of the stories. One night I had an ear ache. I laid on the couch because I felt so bad. That night in the middle of the night the cat came up and laid down beside me. She put her paws around my ear and started making sounds. It woke me up and at some place I new she was doing healing on me.
When I woke up in the morning my ear ache was gone. They are amazing. I feel I have shared stories about her before. Cats can see spirits and are amazing healers. Cheers!

My little furry friend was taking a nap. It looks so cute. I wanted to take a picture. But as I zoomed in his eyes open, he could feel the energy.!

A tribe of about 2,000 people took on Big Oil in court. And won.
The Waorani of Ecuador’s Pastaza province refused to let their ancestral land get auctioned off for drilling. Judges agreed the government never properly consulted them, and the sale was stopped cold.
Half a million acres of Amazon rainforest, protected.
The ripple goes further. That same ruling threw serious doubt on the planned auction of 16 more oil blocks covering over 7 million acres of Indigenous territory.
Nemonte Nenquimo, who led the lawsuit, was blunt about it. Their forest is not for sale to oil companies. Ever.
Turns out “no” still holds up in court.
