Bulk Shopping
A PEEK IN MY PANTRY đź‘€:
my goal with sustainability is better not perfect.
I buy everything I can in bulk. Then I buy things in recyclable containers. (Glass, Aluminum and Paper/cardboard have the best chance to actually get recycled.) Then my last resort is the plastic packaging. 7-10% of my groceries are plastic vs 90-100% of them (which is what it used to be).
for a while I was obsessed with not buying a single thing in plastic. But i’m gonna be honest and say it took over my life and made me burnout quick. Everybody is fixated on perfection. And the idea of having to do sustainability “perfect” really turns people away from it. Change doesn’t work by perfection, change works through intention. Sustainability is about individual changes working together overtime to make massive shifts in society. Every step counts! Think about if everybody decrease their plastic groceries by 20% vs a handful of people doing 100%
