GOING GREEN The best choice for eco Friendly Shopping Tips

Your grocery shopping cart is an easy place to start going green! News of global climate change abounds and may seem overwhelming. However, each one of us can take tiny steps to effect big change, such as changing the way we shop at the grocery store. Avoid shrink wrapped fruit and vegetables; nature creates bananas and coconuts with their own sustainable peels or husks, so these don’t need to be shrink wrapped. Select loose items and place them in your own reusable mesh or cloth bags. At the deli counter or pre-made food bar, bring your own store-approved containers.

Reduce the number of trips you take to the store and packages you buy by choosing bulk dry items like fruit, cereal, pastas, and spices. Decant these down into lunch-box size portions for school and work lunches. The same can be done with yogurts. Skip the sugary pre-packaged fruit cups and go for bulk frozen fruit.

Avoid single serving juice sacks and boxes, these are expensive, and man contain unneeded sugars and colouring and become litter on school grounds. Instead purchase concentrated juices which can be watered down and provided in reusable thermoses. Provide water in a reusable water bottle.

For fussy youngsters, create homemade “lunchable” meals by purchasing healthy meats and cheeses in bulk and cutting them into finger-food portions. Purchase a high-quality reusable bento style lunchbox that will last many school years.

Pack your purchased in reusable grocery bags and refuse paper or plastic bags offered by grocery packers. Once at home, store foods in reusable glass containers, covering them in beeswax wrap or cloth. Reusable silicone baggies are perfect for food storage at home or on the go.
