Plastic Free Living

We know that plastic free living ins’t easy, but cutting down on your single use plastic consumption can have a massive difference. Your money is your voting power. The more we choose plastic free options or products with low impact packaging, the more we will see!

I don’t know about you guys but the kitchen is the most difficult place for me to cut down on my waste. Food shopping is something that takes time and often it can’t mean going out of your way to find plastic free options. Preparation is key that is for sure. Try merge buying your plastic free foods into your everyday life. Like meeting your friends at a Sunday farmers market for coffee so you can do your weekly waste free shop!


Good Luck, you’ll smash it!
