Grocery shopping creates a lot of waste because of the packaging, which is commonly non-recyclable.
Grocery shopping creates a lot of waste because of the packaging, which is commonly non-recyclable. The packaging usually ends up in landfills. As well, most supermarkets sell imported produce which increases carbon emissions. An alternative to this is using sustainable supermarkets, where you bring your own containers for food, and produce is locally sourced. If these aren't available, looking for fair trade or organic in big supermarkets is a more sustainable option.
