Why buy in bulk?
Two reasons: Less packaging, and less cost.Packaging materials make up more than 30% of all consumer waste, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Buying in bulk eliminates packaging waste.
Beyond bulk, look for minimally packaged items, and items that are packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled materials, or can be composted.
Eliminate disposable bag waste by buying a couple good reusable bags -- preferably made from recycled materials -- and remember to carry them with you to the market, so you don't have to struggle with the old "paper or plastic" question.
