💚 Buying loose produce — Many people are bringing their own reusable produce bags, or simply buy items like apples, zucchini, or potatoes without any packaging - market stalls and green grocers are often good places to try.
💚 Bakery goods — Some households are bringing their own cloth bags or re-using paper bags to avoid plastic when buying bread and pastries.
