Plastic Free July — habit shift #15

Transition San Juan Island’s Waste Reduction group shares today’s habit shift inspiration from the global Plastic Free July campaign.

At the Bakery

Unfortunately, bread, rolls, and other baked goods often come in plastic. You can avoid single-use packaging by shopping at a local bakery and opting to carry your baked goods out without a plastic bread bag, or by bringing your own containers. Choose to take your bread without any bag at all by slicing your bread at home. If you must have your bread sliced at the bakery, ask for it to be packaged in a paper bag instead of plastic.
