The latest trend you’ll see more and more of when you browse the stores on a Sunday afternoon is the pop up of Bulk Food Shops. But why are they important and why should you bother to get in on the trend?
The concept behind these shops is a move away from consumerism and to have a heightened awareness of our personal impact on the environment. The premise is to bring your own containers and take only as much as you need. This means, number 1, no single-use plastic bags and an elimination of unnecessary packaging and number 2, if you only need a teaspoon of turmeric, that’s all you have to buy, everything is charged for by weight.
So visit the next one you see and try it out, save the planet and some money too!
