    Hello Calgary peeps:  YYC PlasticFree is having a Zero Waste Festival this Saturday, July 20, in East Village.  Looks like lots of cool vendors and activities.

      Bridgeland market but I also go to Bite in Inglewood. I think if you ask at any deli counter they should put the cheese and meat containers.

      👍🏼What shop is that from? I've been looking for a place to get cheese that isn't covered in plastic! 🧀

    Interesting concept from Singapore as to how they deal with their trash--incinerated within a day and used to generate heat to create electricity:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dei_duocsu4
