Producing waste is convenient. Many of the systems that produce the resources we consume use materials that eventually become landfilled. Grocery stores and their plastic bags. Restaurants and their styrofoam takeout containers. Fast fashion clothing stores and their garments that only last for a few months. It’s convenient for these places to use disposable materials. They can get it in bulk and they can get it for cheap. So we use them because they are what is offered to us.
But what if the systems that we participated in made being zero-waste the default? This is what we’re talking about on today’s episode of Operation Climate. More specifically, we’re talking about zero-waste grocery shopping and how the first zero-waste grocery store in San Diego came to fruition.
Our guest today is Isabelle Demillan, the founder of The Mighty Bin, the first zero-waste store in San Diego.
