Make a Change

Every few days you might be heading to the supermarket to purchase some cold cuts from the deli. If you observe how much plastic is used in this process, it is really shocking. The meat is placed on plastic when it is cut and then it gets put into a plastic bag. At home, you might (or might not) take the meat out of the plastic bag and put it into a container for your fridge. Have you ever thought about bringing the container to the deli itself? It works great and you can easily avoid all the single-use plastic. Just ask the staff at the deli to put your items directly into your container. They can deduct the weight of the container on the scale in advance and stick the price tag on top of the lid. Once you get home you can directly place your own re-usable container into your fridge.
