Help Greenmarket go plastic-free by bringing your own bags while shopping in 的 markets. New Yorkers dispose of 9.37 billion carryout bags a year, most of which are not 回收d. 由石油制成, plastic bags are contributing to environmental degradation around 的 world, 堵塞bg视讯的海洋, and are an enormous waste of money. Pledge to bring your bags when shopping at Greenmarkets and help us go plastic-free!
Tips for going plastic-free:
1. 取 GreeNYC承诺 自带马克杯, 水瓶, shopping bags and receive a free mug, 瓶, or bag to get you started.
2. Bring a variety of bags. One sturdy, large canvas bag and a few sizes of smaller reusable bags (canvas, mesh, cotton, ect).
3. If you plan on buying fish, bring a reusable container, like a glass container with a plastic cover. Bring a cooler, lunch bag to store frozen or fresh meat.
4. Buy loaves of bread and instead of taking paper bag/plastic bag, store bread in a cotton bag and slice at home.
5. 堆肥! Close 的 loop by collecting your food scraps and dropping 的m off at our 堆肥 sites at most Greenmarkets. Collect your food scraps in an airtight container or a paper bag. Store your food scraps in 的 freezer to avoid unwanted smells.
6. If you forget to BYOB, you can buy reusable produce bags at 的 Market Information Tent.
7. Reduce before you 重用 or 回收. It costs money and energy to produce and 回收 plastic bags.
8. Say no thank you if you are offered a plastic bag - you brought your tote so you don't need one!
9. Go #foamfree and quit using styrofoam for good. 点击这里了解更多.
