Sustainable Living - Zero Waste Shopping - January 2018

Our "Queen of Green" Carrie Aikman came in to talk about living sustainably - and how to do it. She told us about the first of a 12-step month-by-month 'adopt a green habit' challenge. She designated “zero-waste shopping” as this month's habit. How to approach this? Number one: Plan which day you’ll shop and put it in your calendar. Number two: Keep your grocery list handy! And number three: Keep jars, bags, and containers all together and in your car or by your front door. That is this month’s challenge! So, "where should I go", you might wonder. Go visit your local bulk stores! Basel Unverpackt is located in Klein-Basel, and Abfüllerei Basel is in the Gundeli. Oekoladen stocks all sorts of household items and products for the family. By the way, Abfüllerei Basel will do your shopping for you!
