When you shop do you only look at the prices? Do you look at what is in the product? Or what the product is in? Would you buy something in excess packaging? When buying groceries always consider the price but look also into what you are paying for. Is the excess cash really going to a better quality item or are you just paying for packaging?
When I got to buy pasta, meats, sauces and cheeses I try to look at what the container is. Is it recyclable in my area? If not is it biodegradable? The glass baby food jars and tomato sauce jars I get every month are always recyclable, the pasta I try to buy in cardboard, and meats and cheeses I try to get with as little extra packaging as possible. This means no individually wrapped items in my house.
And that's not all! When I go to buy toys I look for items that have little to no packaging. Items that sport just a tag are my favorites! These items are usually cheaper than other items and the quality is just as good.
It's easy to buy something based on price alone but consider the eco-impact it has when you need to dispose of the extra wrapping.
Keep reducing!
Stay green,
