I only know of one zero waste shop in this country, and that's in Johannesburg.<br /><br />I'd love to open one in our closest town, but fear the town is too small to be viable :(Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-7625223767225874392017-09-06T15:24:54.287+02:002017-09-06T15:24:54.287+02:00We have bulk dispensers like that in some stores h...We have bulk dispensers like that in some stores here, but most don't have them. The German chains Aldi and Lidl are rapidly expanding throughout the States now, and while certainly not zero waste, they seem to be somewhat less wasteful (customers must bring their own bags, for example). Of course we still have a LONG ways to go to achieve anything close to sustainability.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859125602809246773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-8244045434307417612017-09-03T12:52:38.272+02:002017-09-03T12:52:38.272+02:00Sue - Yeah, between plastic bottles, shrink wrap a...Sue - Yeah, between plastic bottles, shrink wrap and straws, they are the worst culprits when it comes to plastic pollution.<br /><br />Is produce (especially fruit and veg) not sold as single items where you are so that you could put them in similar bags to what I now have?<br /><br />The USA is not alone - every country has it's "privileged" people who don't give a hoot for Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-40937711108686134572017-09-03T10:07:37.797+02:002017-09-03T10:07:37.797+02:00It's always struck me how "progressive&qu...It's always struck me how "progressive" Europe is. The STATES seem to do everything in their power to make MORE trash, not less. It's ridiculous. <br />I walk early mornings with a neighbor and we were talking about how our trash is always all plastic. EVERYTHING sold here comes wrapped in plastic. Our recycling center is awesome, but they don't take all that plastic shrinkSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-23529992761878135872017-09-03T09:52:26.627+02:002017-09-03T09:52:26.627+02:00Rosemary - R15.00 each??!!
