Reduce landfill waste: Buy in bulk, not packaged
Purchasing and cooking in bulk means fewer trips to the store, less packaging, and less time using energy-consuming appliances.
Stores such as Simply Bulk Market in Longmont, Colo., carry hundreds of pounds of bulk food, spices, pet supplies, soaps, coffees, teas and other items that traditionally would sell in smaller packages, which would create more landfill waste. By buying and cooking in bulk, you can help save not only the environment, but your cash, as well.
