Hey Community,

Shop At Plastic-Free Grocers

In South Africa, plastic is one of the greatest, pervasive and most dangerous pollutants. Plastic is over-used and over-consumed, and most of this plastic is non-recyclable and non-biodegradable. Eliminating the plastic problem simply with you. By shopping at plastic-free grocers, you are reducing land and water pollution, saving money, eliminating toxic from the products your consume and creating less waste.

Create an “Eat Me First” box

The easiest step to being conscious about consumption of food and reducing food wastage is creating a box or bowl dedicated to things that you should be consuming as a priority. This is great for foods that are quick to go off or foods that we often forget to eat altogether. Through this method, you will also get a better understanding of your food consumption behaviours and even change your diet to be more conscious for your health and your wallet.
