GreeningRozzie is working to help businesses reduce waste through the Bring Your Own Containers (BYO Containers) initiative. We’re inviting our local Roslindale businesses to allow, and even encourage, customers to bring their own containers.
We want to make it possible – and easy – to reduce packaging waste when
- Buying fresh produce at a grocery store or farmers market
- Having a beverage at a coffee shop
- Taking home leftover lunch from a cafe
We’ve already received pledges from Fornax, Roslindale Fish Market, Boston Cheese Cellar, and Bob’s Pita Market and plan to expand the list over the summer! And as we were working on this, we came across this short news story from New Zealand about a similar initiative. Isn't it wonderful how great (and green!) ideas ripple throughout the world?
