２０２２年１２月１１日 日曜日の朝は薄曇りで日中は晴れて予想最高気温は１７度の予想。昨日もよく晴れて洗濯物が良く乾きました。パーカーのフード部分はどうしても乾きずらいので晴れた日は逃せませんね。
昨日、母親８２歳が実は１２月３日に転んで右手首を骨折してギプス生活であることが判明いたしました。全治１か月とのことでオペは必要なかったようで安心しております。高齢者は転倒による骨折が寝たきりの原因につながることもあるので（足の付け根の骨折の場合）特に家の中でも転ばないような配慮が必要と聞いております。
絨毯のへり、電源ケーブルに足を引っかけないようにとか、歩くところに配慮した生活が求められます。もちろん屋外でも段差のあるところ、石や障害物のないところを歩くようにするとよいかもです。今回母親は庭で転倒したようですのでサンダルとかを履いているときは特に注意が必要です。利き腕の骨折で包丁などが使えず、ほうれん草などをちぎって食べているそうです。足の付け根の骨折だったら９割がた手術なので、腕の骨折でまだ良かったと思い 手術も必要なかったですし早い回復を祈ります。
１２月１、３日と病院ごとが親族で続きましたが、いま元気にしている人たちの厄を背負ってくれたと考え さらには大難を小難にしていただいたと捉え、前向きに進もうと思います。
さて話題は変わります。みなさんペットボトルを捨てるときって透明なビニール袋に入れて捨ててませんか？自治体によっては収集専用の場所や袋がある場合もあるでしょうが、今住んでいる自治体では特に取り決めはないようです。
袋が自由な場合、手元にあるビニール袋に入れればよいのでしょうが 手元に袋がないケースが最近ありまして知恵を絞りました。
束ねる、まとめるといえば❝ ひも ❞ ！とひらめき
こうなりました。
この状態で捨てるのではなく、さらに１，２か月待ち その間に出てくるペットボトルを中の方に押し込んでどんどん密度を上げてゆきます。そうすることでがっしり、ぎっしりしたペットボトルの集合体になりペットボトルが抜け落ちるのを防ぎます。
炭酸水やミネラルウォーターを消費する都合結構なペットボトルが定期的に出るのでこれはリーズナブルで捨てるのにも袋に押し込んだり、こぼれ落ちたりという事がなくストレスも減ります。コストはビニールのひも１～２ｍ足らずなので経済的。
画像の状態だとペットボトルあと１０～２０本詰め込めます。是非お試しください。
A new way to dispose of plastic bottles?
December 11, 2022 Sunday morning was lightly overcast and sunny during the day with an expected high of 17 degrees. Yesterday was another sunny day and my laundry dried well. The hood part of my hoodie is really hard to dry, so I can’t miss sunny days.
Yesterday, we found out that the mother, 82 years old, actually fell and broke her right wrist on December 3 and is in a cast. I am relieved to hear that she did not need any operation as she will be completely healed in one month. I have heard that elderly people need to be especially careful not to fall down in their homes, as a broken bone from a fall can lead to bedridden conditions (in the case of a fracture at the base of the leg).
We are told that care must be taken to avoid falling, especially in the house, such as not getting one’s feet caught on carpet edges or power cables. Of course, it may be a good idea to walk outdoors where there are no steps, stones, or obstacles. Since it seems that the mother fell down in the garden this time, we need to be especially careful when she is wearing sandals or other shoes. She is unable to use a knife because of the fracture in her dominant arm, and she is eating spinach by tearing it into pieces. If it had been a fracture at the base of his leg, he would have had to have surgery 90% of the time, so he is lucky that it was only a fracture of his arm.
Although my relatives had to go to the hospital on December 1 and 3, I will try to move forward with a positive attitude, thinking that they carried the bad luck of those who are now doing well, and also that they made a big disaster into a small one.
Now, let me change the subject. When you throw away plastic bottles, don’t you put them in a clear plastic bag? Some municipalities may have special collection areas or bags, but the municipality in which I currently live does not seem to have any particular regulations.
If the bag is free, you should probably just put it in a plastic bag that you have on hand, but I have recently had a case where I didn’t have a bag on hand, so I gathered my wits.
Speaking of bundling and putting things together, I thought of string! And then I got an idea.
Here is how it turned out.
Instead of throwing them away in this state, we wait another month or two, and in the meantime, we push the PET bottles inside to make them denser and denser. This will make the bottles more compact and prevent them from falling out.
This is reasonable and reduces the stress of discarding the bottles, as soda and mineral water consumption regularly produces quite a few bottles, and there is no pushing into bags or spilling. The cost is economical, as the plastic string is less than a meter or two long.
In the picture, 10 to 20 more PET bottles can be packed. Please give it a try.
