Greener grocery shopping
One day last week as I putting away my groceries, I learned a little something about Aldi.
There, on the side of the bag I had purchased was a notice that the bag was made from 100 percent recycled material and is 100 percent recyclable.
I’ve been using those bags for several months now, and that was the first time I had paid attention to what was written on it.
It’s just one of many reasons I enjoy shopping at Aldi. About eight or nine years ago when the grocery chain opened its first location near me, I visited its website and learned a little about ways the chain tries to minimize its impact on the environment, from the way the stores are built to having LED lights at all locations and using solar energy at some.
I don’t know a thing about the environmental policy of other major retailers I patronize, and it occurred to me recently that I probably should. So that’s on my to-do list: Find out which stores actively work to reduce their carbon footprint and make adjustments in my shopping routine if any fall short.
Do you know of any major retailers that work to protect our planet? If so, please share your findings in the comments section.
