would love to see more of these! it would be great if we would all have one zero-waste shop near by. I love the fact that is not just about the waste, but also about responsible production.
Yes 🙌
*if we had ALL SHOPS zero waste!
I am going zero waste in my country in Bulgaria in a different way now since we don't have these stores. 1 I came up with a garbage burning system that heats my home
2. The garbage that doesn't burn goes in to Glas hard with lids with then will be used to replace store bought bricks
3. Everything that rots paper and organics is thrown in to a compost pile and made into black gold for my garden.
I am slowly replacing all electric appliances with hand operated versions. Some are my own tweeked inventions.
I am completely obsessed with this movement and not leaving a footprint
I really like her work and lifestyle when she says building a community with the neighboring shops, that is what humans should be. Living together and helping each other out. That is a good life there.
Yes! 🙌
I hope for the next following years this could be adopted by fast food chains that produces lots of food and plastic waste.
Great content bro🍃
I agree! Thank you 😁
@@GoingGreenOfficial they can use bamboo for their utensils and carry out thingies. They also need large wormfarm in the back for the food and paper waste
I would so have a shop like this. I think every State and City should have stores like this.
Yes there should be more! Not only are the better for the environment they look so fun! Xx
They are so fun!

How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
I do wish I could shop in places like this but allergies don’t allow. Xx

Someone start this...I have seen many vehicles not used at all..athu nashikkan ettirikkunthavum ..thurumbum kaadokke kayariyittu...why can't someone open these kind of shops in such vehicles???
You can get these different varieties of powders from the mill
The way our society produces waste has got to go these zero waste shops could be one of the ways of reducing the waste that plagues the environment and the oceans. bioplastics made from fish scales that natural decompose are an other way.
Great comment. Thank you!
I like to start such shop can you help me out?
In india there are many zero waste store
Great!
Zero waste for us
Na całej planecie .
Nice shops... but storing foods in *transparent* containers under lights is not good for the foods (though, it does look pretty); non-transparent jugs with a small see-through sample nearby (i.e. a chemistry tube glued to a jug) would be better.
P.S. "vegan chocolate"?? 😕 Those bio-shops usually have ONLY black chocolate available anyway (at least that's what I saw at my local shops with "bio" suffix)... throwing "vegan" for exta credits for a known plant-based-product is really not cool: like saying "vegan broccoli"~
Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but does vegan MILK chocolate even exist?
Interesting thoughts. Well it will depend on where you live. But in the UK there are a number of amazing vegan chocolate brands. Ombar, vego, nu, Tony’s chocolonely just to name a few!
@@GoingGreenOfficial well, I googled it - never seen it before (I'm not from English-speaking country), and, frankly, not eager to even try - the general quality of normal (milk) chocolate for the past 5-10 years in Europe's really plummeted (and I blame palm oil additives): wrong consistency, develops white dusty coating way before expiration date, bland taste; so I started to be extremely picky at choosing chocolate products - only the ones labeled "bio & fair trade & 100% natural" nowadays taste anything remotely like when I was a child~
This concept is great, but you do realize that transporting the extra containers to the store requires energy right? When you transport the containers in any vehicle, the energy needed to support that extra weight _consumes more fuel_ , which emits more CO2, which also _harms the environment_ . If this concept is aiming solely at helping out the environment, it still does have downsides. There is a solution out there, and we are getting closer to it, but there’s definitely room to improve.
If you put this in the middle of a city like London where everyone cycles then you avoid this problem
Women led? So excluding men then.Isn't that discriminating? Do you discriminant against all men or just white men?
I hear about this practice often and it certainly gets me thinking whether this inclusivity is really just another form of discrimination. Definitely a discussion to be had on this
With people like this everyone has a point value a black woman owned business gets a higher point value than a white women owned business and if you are sexually confused you get double points. Would be much easier just to work with the people who have the best products and provide the best service but that would be racist.
