I've been feeling terrible recently when I've forgotten me material Waitrose bag so when I have I've attempted to carry as much as I can in my gangly arms so I can use less plastic ones. It's another way we can get involved and make a difference and Unpackaged in London is at the forefront of changing our way of shopping...check it out Article by Weheart.co.uk
Beginning life as a market stall in 2006, Unpackaged is a unique and brilliant concept that is so simple it hurts, especially considering the sheer amount of packaging waste that is ridiculously filling our planet’s landfill sites. Within the beautifully designed shop, organic whole foods, dried fruit, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices, even refillable oils, vinegars and wines are all available to place straight into your own containers, that you will have brought along with you… if you haven’t then reusable bags are available. Daily fresh bread, wonderful locally produced cheeses and other general high on quality, low on waste groceries are available too… again with the same simple concept… that food packaging is generally a pretty dumb idea and we, or more appropriately, the supermarkets, need to reeducate ourselves and reconsider the way we view unnecessary packaging in the 21st Century. We also love the charming graphic design from top agency, Multistorey, especially the fliers with gold leaf printing on bits of old cereal boxes…. artistically capturing the shop’s ethos, character and charm.
