Carrying containers and strong reusable shopping bags (reinforced beach bags are great for that) shouldn't even be that weird. Wasn't it just normal a few decades back? My grandma always had a resistant shopping bag with her that she could bend and keep in her purse along with a lot of other things. So does my mother minus the survival kit. My grandma raised me to always be prepared with a shopping bag, water, a few fabric handkerchiefs, an umbrella in raining season, a mini aid kit, insect repeller, healthy homemade snacks, a set of cutlery made for toddlers bcs they come in their own hard case and are small and cheap, a fabric napkin, and a small sewing set. And it's not even heavy, I have to carry a rocksack anyway so it's just goes between being washed and the front compartments. I mean people were intense about buying Tupperware, some still are. And now a days people do buy different brands of containers but for some reason many forget about them and leave them at home.

not shaming anyone but if you want to be zero waste DO NOT support corporations like starbucks. I work at starbucks and the amount of waste we create is alarming. Just bringing your own cup does not stop waste from being created, yes it does save a cup, but our hot cups are recyclable and the plastic ones are too in some areas. If you truly want to be zero waste or want to make a difference do not support starbucks or similar corporations.

Quite honestly in my opinion the jar technique of zero waste is very discouraging and almost impossible! Also it seems it gives this idea that zero waste is something that a person can do over night and thats just not true (especially for most people and those not fortunate enough to have a bulk store near them. Also where are all these jar people putting their receipts!

The comments on here bashing the girls for their failure makes me wanna continue to go against them. Now will u excuse me, I will be driving my gasoline run 150 horsepower Jetta 15 miles to a boba shop that uses plastic cup and plastic straws. Furthermore, I will enjoy the leftovers from last night dinner of salt and pepper chicken

If you're going to live zero waste in NYC you'll need to make some sacrifices. Only going to super health food stores and farmers' markets means you're not using mom-and-pops. If you don't want to help gentrification along you have to balance it out. It's a sacrifice you make for living in the city.

Its very easy to do this in the city, its where all the yuppies live (no offense. Its harder to do it elsewhere, especially if you dont have the means to do it, cause its not cheap most of the time. I try, but I just moved out of the city and its not as easy.

Hello
Going zero-waste grocery shopping means meal prep so you don't over spend and going to multiple grocery stores and/or local shops to find the best price. Also, farmers markets are your best friends. It's not expensive, you just don't know how to budget.

I think it should be called a low waste lifestyle instead of zero waste. Like one of them mentioned, I don't think you can be 100% waste free. Even in packaging that seems to be no waste, there ends up being little pieces of plastic seals.
