The situation in Myanmar has deteriorated again in recent weeks. Since the military coup a year ago the army has been waging war against its own population – even targeting actually peaceful places like hospitals, primary school and religious places. Soldiers fire volleys into houses, break into homes at night and arbitrarily arrest civilians. In the places known for the harboring of the indigenous minorities the air force bombed entire villages.

The magazine ‘bleib gesund’ says that tableware made of bamboo and made in Myanmar currently is very popular in Germany. Many Germans believe that this product is environmentally-friendly. Fact is that most if not all tableware made of bamboo contains plastic. And most of this tableware transmits some of this plastic to the food it contains.
