Houston, would you support a zero-waste store?
I wonder why I cannot find a zero-waste store in Houston. I therefore wonder, to what extent do Houstonians care about the planet where they would willingly spend more money and inconveniently, head out to a specialty store. Perhaps this post will encourage potential entrepreneurs to provide a solution to a problem I care deeply about.
Zero-waste products/companies emerge everyday. But the general public isn’t aware of the plethora of solutions out there. A zero-waste store would educate citizens who care about the climate on best practices and new solutions.
Such a store would include:
Kitchen:
– Silicon baking mats and liners
– re-usable k-cups for coffee makers
Bathroom:
– natural cleaning sprays that you re-fill in metal canisters/spray bottles
– cleaning tablets you add to water (as opposed to buying a plastic bottle of Windex)
– bamboo toothbrushes, plastic-free floss
– refillable lotions, shampoos, etc (all in glass bottles) (bring old glass container we will wash/reuse so you can conveniently but a new glass bottle).
– zero-waste skin products (glass/steel for recyclable)
– bidet attachments (education provided)
Living Room:
Other:
– dryer balls
Educational sessions:
– DIY toothpaste, soaps, etc.
– products that are socially conscious and deserve your $support
and obviously much more.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
