Journey to Zero-Waste

We held a zero-waste even last week called Journey to Zero-Waste. We put up a couple rolls of paper and asked attendees to answer some questions.

What is your favourite zero-waste hack?

• Bring container to restaurants

• Refill at Bulk Barn or the Nickel Refillery

• Bring reusable bags for shopping and reusable mug for coffee

• Baby food in jars instead of plastic cups

• Buy used instead of new

• DIY cleaning products (laundry

• Chewing on whole cloves for fresh breath

• Carry cutlery in purse

What's stopping you from going Zero-Waste?

• Too much packaging at the grocery store and other stores, for example crackers always have a plastic sleeve and cheese is wrapped in plastic

• Allergies

• Convenience

• Time

• Lack of options

• Cost

• Not enough store that carry plastic-free options

Where would you like to start?

• Grocery stores

• Schools

• Co-op composting

• At the Nickel Refillery

• Clothing manufacturers (made with natural fibres)
