Buy in BULK
Buy less pre-packaged food and more fresh food
Take the 1st pledge
Promise to never use disposables again!
The kitchen is the most important room in the house.
This is not just where most of the cooking happnes,
but it's the place where the family gets together to eat, talk, sometimes do homework.
Say goodbye to your disposables:
-
garbage liners
-
wax paper
-
paper towels
-
aluminum sheets
-
plastic containers
-
disposable plates, cups, spoons, etc...
Instead of buying everything pre-packaged in plastic bags, boxes and containers, try to buy as much as you can from your local bulk store.
If there isn't such a store near you yet, well, talk to your neighbours, then talk to the nearest store there is and convince them to open a new store close to you and your neighbours who are ready to support you!

Invest time in cooking. If you don't have time to cook 3 times a day, than search for quick and easy recipes - the internet is full of them.
Learn to bake bread and pastries. If you cook enough at once, they can last for as long as a week (carefully stored).
Invest in the right ustensils that help you cook faster, like a pressure cooker, that helps your food cook 3-10 times faster than normal pans do.
