So much of our food these days comes in unrecyclable and unbiodegradable plastic packaging, sometimes with several layers.

Back in the day there were food co-ops which had grains and pulses in big sacks and barrels, and a scoop or similar, so you could take only what you wanted. Then sadly Health and Safety put paid to that.

But technology now exists to update that model. There’s a shop in Totnes that does this: The Zero Waste Shop.

I’m looking for people who are interested in setting up a co-op in/around Hebden to open such a shop here. Please click on my name at the top of this post to send me an email. Many thanks for reading.
