Plastic-Free July

In July, we join the #Plastic-freeJuly Movement to help reduce single use plastic!

We’ve got lots of ideas for how you can do this, but really it’s up to you to pick one thing (or all the things!) and see if you can eliminate it from your life for 1 day, 1 week, the whole month (and maybe forever!). Enjoy 20% off select containers that help keep your foods fresher for longer whether in the fridge or in the pantry.

The worst offenders are the best places to start:

  1. Problem: Single use plastic water and other liquid containers. Solutions: Bring your own. We sell lots of colorful Kleen Canteen options.
  2. Plastic straws! Choose bamboo, silicon, stainless steel. Yes, they need to be cleaned, but so do our oceans! And cleaning your straw is much easier.
  3. Plastic bags. You can use paper but it’s always more environmentally friendly to bring your own containers! We have natural fiber mesh produce bags, new Ambrosia bags that can really extend the life of your produce and are quite stylish too. We also love Stashers and Bagitos for durable ziplock replacements. Wrap your sandwiches and cut veggies in bee-wax coated and colorful Meli Wraps. Or just stock up on the classic Ball jar this month – a favorite for dry bulk storage. We only offer paper or compostable bags in our produce department – and they really are not meant to store your produce.

Together, we can reduce single use plastic. For more information on the movement, check out the official Plastic-free July website.
