It’s no secret that single-use plastic is detrimental to our planet. As someone who travels, how often do you find yourself using plastic cutlery or straws?
Perhaps you’ve been on the go, venturing through a new city and don’t have time to sit down in a restaurant. So, you grab a take out from the first fast food place you see, but they give you plastic cutlery to eat with. As you’ve got no choice but to use them, you stick your plastic fork into your food, along with the guilt, and wish there was another way.
That’s where The Friendly Panda comes in to make all your wishes come true! They kindly gifted us one of their travel packs that we will be keeping in our rucksacks forever more. The Travellers Pack includes; one bamboo knife, fork and spoon. Along with two bamboo straws (one 15cm and the other 20cm long) and a husk cleaning brush. All of this comes in an elegant cotton bag.

After using the products, ourselves we can honestly say that we love them. As weird as it may sound, they feel very nice to eat with, the bamboo feels soft and smooth in our hands and they are light and easy to take with us wherever we go. Not only do they beat plastic cutlery due to the environmental implications, but they also do their job so much better, you could cut an apple with this bamboo knife, but try doing that with a plastic one and it’ll snap. The Travellers Pack has for sure become our road trip essential.
The Friendly Panda have also just released reusable face masks, made from bamboo fabric. As wearing masks have become the norm in our lives, getting a reusable one is a must. So why not make a sustainable choice and chose one of the many colours that The Friendly Panda has to offer? Plus, 5% of the profits of these face masks are being donated to the ‘Wednesday Run.’ Read more about this here: https://thefriendlypanda.co.uk/face-masks/

Stop using single-use plastic, travel slower, chose bamboo, eat an apple and go adventure.
