a GOOD day!
I had a great day at the market. People like my totally zero packaging/waste approach! It's nice being around people who embrace what I am doing and call it INSPIRING! Honestly it hasn't been that hard. As I go along the more options open up. I think one just has to make the decision to go package free in order for the change to happen. Today I found two vendors willing to take my bottles for fresh apple cider (I bring the empties and they refill and bring the following week). I also found someone making shampoo who is happy to fill my containers. If anything it makes shopping easier (less to decide, less impulse buys) but it also seems to open up MORE options as you start to look in new places (for me new vendors at the market) instead of just my usual set patterns of who I visit. So I am having FUN with this ... ALOT.

I think your blog is an awesome reminder that there is always one step further that we could take our attempts to reduce waste. We have a tendency to say "I do what I can," but unless you're actually going for zero packaging I don't think that's ever true. We do what we choose, what we afford, what we decide is worth it, but we could always do more.
