Sunday mornings I usually take time to catch up on stories I may not have time to read through the week. I thought I would share some that caught my eye this week. Join me for a Sunday morning coffee.

‘It’s really easy:’ Unpacked Halifax becomes first zero waste store in Maritimes | Metro Halifax

Wow…this is pretty exciting! I’d love to see more of this or at least more attention paid to the excessive packaging that comes with some products. Why does an English Cucumber need to be wrapped in plastic? It would be great to see a shift in attitudes towards this issue, the same way that we did with how we deal with garbage and recycling.

Starting as a pop-up at farmers markets and events around the HRM, Caira Clark launched Unpacked Halifax this May as the east coast’s first zero-waste store providing package-free food, home, and body products.“People are very aware of environmental issues. We have a good recycling system … and there’s lots of environment organizations so I think in terms of the kind of climate in Halifax it works well for an environmental-based business,” Clark said Tuesday.
