Buying fruit and vegetables at the market<\/h3>\n<p id=\"261bl3120\" dir=\"auto\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">In addition to being mostly <strong>seasonal<\/strong> and of better quality, market produce helps to <strong>keep the use of plastic to a minimum<\/strong>. By taking your own shopping bags and containers, you can have bread, cheese, olives, fruit\/vegetables, etc&#8230;.. It&#8217;s also a moment of <strong>conviviality<\/strong> that transforms any task into a beautiful activity of the day, where you get fresh air and vitamin D.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<h3>2. Order home-delivered vegetable baskets<\/h3>\n<p id=\"7z2hl4698\" dir=\"auto\">A very practical option for busy people who don&#8217;t have time to go to the store or the market.<\/p>\n<p id=\"iohx84977\" dir=\"auto\">A few addresses:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"hfqi95tqyi44if202\">\n<li id=\"6z59c5tqyi44if194\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p id=\"8byo34369\" dir=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uglyfruits.ch\/fr\/uglyfruits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hook=\"WebLink\"><u>Uglyfruits<\/u><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaverdura.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hook=\"WebLink\"><u>VitaVerDura<\/u><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/culti-shop.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hook=\"WebLink\"><u>Culti-shop<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"ufr6s5tqyi44if196\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p id=\"hgoum4372\" dir=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marche-cuendet.ch\/purchase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hook=\"WebLink\"><u>Cuendet Market<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"us1wf5tqyi44if198\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p id=\"28bpd4375\" dir=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nuha.earth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hook=\"WebLink\"><u>Nuha earth<\/u><\/a> (zero waste and bulk products)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"1gjph5tqyi44if200\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p id=\"mgifz4378\" dir=\"auto\">and other initiatives near you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"i3wzb8312\" dir=\"auto\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">3. Always have bulk bags and\/or containers on hand<\/h3>\n<p id=\"j3fv99388\" dir=\"auto\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">It&#8217;s a habit to get into at first, but it quickly becomes a reflex. We no longer leave home without a collapsible shopping bag and small bulk bags for fruit\/vegetables. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"e43ks607\" dir=\"auto\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">4. Your Tupperware goes everywhere with you<\/h3>\n<p id=\"zwrm1648\" dir=\"auto\">Try as much as possible to cook more in the evening, so that you have a meal ready to go to work the next day.<\/p>\n<p id=\"zwrm1648\" dir=\"auto\"><strong>Healthy, cheap and zero waste<\/strong>: what could be better! And if not, take your tupperware to the caterer and ask him to fill it instead of using disposables \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"xf4so11884\" dir=\"auto\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">5. Cook more at home<\/h3>\n<p id=\"i3ce812891\" dir=\"auto\">Doing it yourself at home not only saves money and avoids the temptation of sugar-laden industrial products, it also reduces waste.
