Sustainable Living - Zero Waste Shopping

Our "Queen of Green" Carrie Aikman came in to talk about living sustainably - and how to do it. Today, 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! Listen to Carrie's segment again here.
