This came through on one of my feeds this morning and I thought this might be the best part of the forum for it :T
Zero waste shops have become a real force for showing how conscious consumerism can change the way we buy and eat our food.
As well as cutting down on pointless plastics and single use packaging, zero waste shopping can help combat food waste as you only buy what you need and help you eat healthier ingredients. We're talking organic veggies, nut butter ground in store, Fairtrade tea and coffee and most of the below stores also sell plastic free cleaning products, homewares (hello bamboo toothbrushes and steel lunchboxes).
They also tend to be independently owned and often stock local suppliers, so you're putting more money back into your local economy and they're becoming community centres for like minded people.
We know, they're not everywhere, and not everyone can access them yet - but there are lots more opening and we've got some of this summer's openings on our favourites lists. Read on to find your local zero waste shop.
