1000 Flowers for the Planet - #180 Use a Metal Peg Container
Over the past couple of decades I have actually gone through several peg
containers which were made of plastic or fabric. The fabric one wore out beyond
repair and the plastic ones quickly became brittle in the sunshine and broke
into pieces. I now own a metal peg container that is very stylish and sturdy,
and it will last me a lifetime. Buying a metal peg container means you avoid
using plastic, finite resources and regular financial outlay. It gives the
planet a chance to breathe. I recommend always bringing pegs indoors when not
in use, as the summer sun will make them brittle and the winter rain will rust
the springs. Your metal peg container will give you good service if you look
after it, can be repaired if necessary and will remain a useful laundry item
for years to come. It’s another step towards a plastic-free life.

Good idea, Marg!
My Dad made my Mum a wooden peg-box and she's used it for YEARS- as far as I can remember, she's always had it. Having a lid, it protects her (wooden) pegs, and has always lived quite happily on the back verandah. I don't remember her ever buying new pegs - hers are beautifully smooth and worn from years of use, no snagging on the clothes! :) SR
