Create NO WASTE
• Buy in bulk and fill your own cloth bag.
• Plan ahead. Make a list and buy only what you need—especially fresh fruit and veggies which quickly lose their nutritional value. • Eat your leftovers the next day or freeze for another time.
• Buy paper-wrapped meat or fish over the counter, rather than pre-packaged. • Take your own reusable glass or stainlesssteel beverage bottle. • Choose products in glass rather than plastic bottles and jars. Re-use for food storage at home.
• Cook in bulk to save energy. • Freeze your meat and veggie scraps (except peppers and cruciferous) until you have enough to make stock or soup.
• If you must buy in plastic, buy large, bulk sizes.
Pick PACKAGE-FREE
• Keep your empties and get them refilled.
• Pay attention to packaging and opt for none, if possible.
• Bring your own bulk, produce, and shopping bags.
