What are the economic and personal benefits of switching to bar soap/shampoo/conditioner or refillable bottle options?
I use mesh bags for produce instead of the plastic ones provided. I buy a lot of produce and in the past month of using the mesh reusable bags I have saved countless plastic bags from going to the landfill.
With the added mindfulness of reducing your packaging, what have you noticed about the amount and type of single use plastics used for packaging when you shop in the grocery store?
I've noticed that so much produce is unnecessarily packaged in plastic like lettuce, carrots, and peppers??? I tried shopping at trader joe's and was surprised at how many of their products are wrapped in plastic. Luckily my local safeway has started providing some plastic free options and even better, local produce as well.
I did 2 actions today, picked up 5 pieces of trash and didn’t buy anything non essential. Starting small and will try to do some of the harder ones later. Happy July everyone and good luck with your eco challenges! 💚
How do you feel about being more involved in the food preparation process? Joyful, overwhelmed, engaged, empowered? What are the benefits of choosing to process or produce your own food instead of buying it pre-processed?
I am starting to make my own bread. Not only does it save plastic packaging and money, it also challenges me to try new recipes and to become a better baker!
