If this pandemic thought us anything, it’s that we need to be more careful with the way we treat our planet and ourselves. The sudden mindset change got us thinkןמע of ways to be more eco-friendly, even if we didn’t pay much attention to it before. Here are three things you can do to reduce waste when grocery shopping.
Reusable Bags
The first thing you need to do is to stop getting single-use plastic bags. Get totes you like and leave them somewhere where you will spot them every time you leave the house.
Plan Ahead
If you’re someone who always has to throw out food that’s gone bad, that probably means you have to plan your meals more carefully. Buying only the things you will use before they go bad is a habit and you will get better at it over time, but start as soon as possible.
Buy in Bulk
Think of groceries you use often and in bigger quantities and buy them in bulk to reduce the packaging waste. Avoid buying single-portion items and individually packed foods whenever you can.
