A New Kind of Grocer in Town Part I

There's a new kind of grocer in Alexandria, a bring your own container kind.  All of their products are have been meticulously picked for zero packaging, transportation miles as little as possible, i.e., you won't find any bananas in their store!  So we're going to check out Mason and Green grocers tomorrow.  I've got my containers ready!  I've been using the bar soap shampoo because the bottles aren't recyclable, but they have liquid shampoo, so I'll try it out by putting it in my old pill bottle that can't be recycled either.  Aarggh.

Choosing products that have as little packaging as possible is so important, i.e., check out the Story of Plastic movie.  There are so many little plastic wrappers for individual items like potatoe chips, or candy, etc., that cannot be recycled and if we're lucky they at least make it to a landfill somewhere.

So we'll let you know how the experience is.  Oh and they're a cashless system too, so no paper receipts!
