Didi: My plastic free journey

Meeting our customers is one of the best parts of our jobs! We are always inspired by their efforts to go plastic free and love hearing their journeys of how they came to start shopping plastic free and we thought you might do too! It is always inspiring to hear from others and in this brave new world of zero waste and plastic free its great to pick up hints and tips from each other and feel part of a wider community that together will make great change!

Didi has been shopping with us from the start, it’s been lovely seeing her become a new mum and she’s always got some handy sustainable tips (she has an MSc in Sustainability, go follow her on instagram @sustainable_deeds) or top vegan venues to try out! Here’s her story:

I first became aware of environmental issues during my teens and then studied a masters in Sustainability, so plastic/package free shopping is all a part of this and why I am keen to shop this way. My advice to anyone starting out is to start small and don’t feel you have to be perfect. Keep learning about environmental issues and how you can help and you’ll find you’ll soon start living with less impact! Refill shopping is also a great way to try new foods, although my favourite from the van is the muesli!
