Zero Waste Herbivore: ZERO WASTE SHOPPING

Leaving the house with a Zero Waste kit is super easy

and fun to make. Here is a closer look at what my kit

looks like......I haven't included my handbag or what

I bring for my son (nappies etc) as I will do a separate

one for that.

So here it is................

ZERO WASTE SHOPPING KIT:
-A sturdy Tote to carry it all in (mine is from
Lululemon, it came with a purchase that was
a gift for my birthday last year and it is so pretty
and sturdy)
-A glass jar for water/takeaway coffee/juice
-A small glass jar for snacks
-A small drawstring organic cotton snack bag
-A separate organic cotton tote for any purchases
-A cotton napkin/handkerchief
-A stainless steel straw
-A stainless steel spork

I wrap the stainless steel straw and spork in the
napkin. I bought a set of SS straws from Ebay and
the spork was bought in a local thrift store.
The napkin was my Grandmothers but you can find
these easily in Thrift stores.
It doubles as a handkerchief.

The drawstring snack bag was the bag that a sheet set
came in. I LOVE it and it comes with me everywhere.
My standard snacks that I tote with me are:
A piece of fruit
A couple of wholemeal bread rolls
Granola
Dates and Brazil nuts
I tend to eat my main meals at home.
I always take a couple of full sized organic cotton
totes with me as well, for any shopping I buy.

Glass jars are the life and soul of a Zero Waste life!
You can buy them at a multitude of places: department
stores, online, even some supermarkets.
I love this jar with a handle as it comes with a hole for
a straw at the top and the handle means I don't burn my
hands when I get take out coffee. I just politely ask
coffee shops/juice bars to put my drink in here instead
of a disposable cup that cannot be recycled.
This snack jar is puuuuuurfect for Granola. YUM.
