Simple actions add up! Introducing “Sustainability 101,” a workshop we created in partnership with @rooted.in.healing to bring you this month, in honor of Earth Day. 🌎♻ ⠀ ⠀
Learn some simple everyday swaps to cut back on single-use waste and make a major impact (not to mention, save money!).⠀
⠀⠀
@rooted.in.healing’s sustainable grocery shopping tips:⠀
⠀⠀
1) Don't forget your reusable grocery bag. If you do, opt for paper instead of plastic. ⠀
2) Shop your bulk bins and BYOC (bring your own container) to prevent the need for single use plastic, and make sure you have the cashier weigh your container before you add items to it. This way you don't get charged for the weight of your container. ⠀
3) Avoid putting your produce in plastic baggies by bringing a cloth bag or just putting them directly in your cart.⠀
4) Shop the perimeter of your grocery store to avoid packaged foods⠀
5) Prevent food waste by planning out your menu ahead of time and using all ingredients. ⠀
6) When you buy fresh herbs, trim the stems and store them in water to extend their life. ⠀
7) When purchasing meat, snag it from the butcher and bring a Tupperware to put it in.⠀
