The Challenges
Single-use or small serving items require significant amounts of packaging, most of which cannot be reused or recycled.
Purchasing in small quantities can be costly.
The Solutions
Buy in bulk. Look for items in larger quantities with less packaging -- spices, loose leaf tea and coffee, rice, beans, nuts & seeds, and dried fruit.
If your store offers items in bulk bins, bring your own reusable bags/containers to eliminate all disposable packaging.
Share with a friend! If you can't use up bulk items on your own, split the cost for bulk items with a friend or family member and share the benefits.
