Smart shoppingAs mentioned above, switching to reusable grocery bags is one of the first steps towards a more sustainable, plastic-free lifestyle. But what about all of those little produce bags or the endless plastic condiment containers and wrappers that seem to fill up your cart? The truth is, going completely plastic-free, especially when it comes to groceries is incredibly challenging, and it will take some time and practice. Learn where you can buy in bulk and bring your own recycled containers that you can weigh beforehand. Purchase reusable produce bags to keep your fruits and veggies protected and shop locally whenever possible.
