I’ve talked before about wanting to use less plastic, but I keep forgetting to post what we’re doing. Here’s one thing! I bought mesh bags for bulk foods and produce, and I love them, they work great. They were $6 for a pack of four bags, and I bought three packs so I’d have no excuse to use the plastic ones at the store.
We aren’t as good about this as Beth Terry is (my personal plastic-free hero), but we’re on the way. As you can see there are still several plastic containers there; mustard (I couldn’t find regular mustard in a glass jar, just the Grey Poupon, and I can’t buy that stuff since I don’t have a chauffeur and my fake British accent is alarmingly poor), and unfortunately I buy a lot of Bob’s Red Mill stuff which does come in plastic. The herbs were a mistake – I was on auto-pilot and it wasn’t until I even got home and uploaded this photo did I remember that OH YEAH, they have glass-bottled spices too. Next time.
The gluten-free focaccia is also plasticized, but I just want you wheat-eaters out there to think about all the delicious things you get to eat, and then while you’re doing that, I’m going to run away with this bread, which is really, really good.
