So yesterday I went into Manchester city centre to scout out some shops and supermarkets to see what they could offer in terms of zero waste.
I came home with some re-usable shopping bags and a biodegradable charcoal toothbrush from Eighth Day Cafe, a jumbo sized jar of coconut oil from Holland and Barrett (which I intend to use as a mason jar afterwards) and a load of veggies from McColl’s market stand. As an aside, I realised how much McColl’s and the adjoining market stand have to offer and will probably do a separate post on this at a later date.
I think it’s painfully aware I need a plan of how to tackle this challenge. It’s not as cut and dry as stopping all waste immediately and collecting odd things on a random shopping trip isn’t really going to work. I think the best plan going forwards is to look at things room by room.
Firstly stop then, the Bathroom.
