I’m looking to reduce my waste, especially when shopping, and could use some advice on how to make more sustainable choices. I’ve already started using reusable bags, but I’d love to hear more tips or tricks that others have found helpful in their own journeys. Specifically, I’m interested in:

Best ways to buy bulk items without packaging.
How to select produce that doesn’t come wrapped in plastic.
Recommendations for finding local stores or markets that support zero waste.
Ideas for reducing waste with online shopping.

Any suggestions or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Let’s share what works best for living a more sustainable lifestyle.

I’ve found that bringing your own containers to bulk stores can be a game-changer. Look for local co-ops or health food stores that let you fill up on grains, nuts, and spices without packaging. For produce, farmers’ markets often have the best options for unpackaged goods, and you can bring your own mesh bags. If you’re into online shopping, some companies specialize in minimal or reusable packaging—it’s worth seeking them out and supporting them. Every small change helps!
