This event encouraged me to take my already fairly low plastic lifestyle to a whole new level, and I began looking for creative solutions to avoid single use plastic entirely.
A new world wide event, Plastic Free July begins tomorrow. And I will be blogging about my participation in this challenge. My challenges, my solutions, (and my failures--which I hope will be few).
Today I want to honor a local business that is also contributing to the solution. In a town of many, many locally owned bakeries, this one stands out for me. The Bread Peddler. Organic bread, incredible food, inviting atmosphere.
I went there for the first time Saturday, clutching my green & white striped flour sack and hoping that they would put the bread right into it, instead of in another bag, whether plastic or paper.
They were super busy and crowded, but the line moved quickly, and the girl who helped me was friendly as she helped me choose two loaves of bread. She reached for the bag I brought even before I had a chance to ask her if it would be alright. I was so excited, and fell instantly in love with the place.
Today, I went back with my husband to try some of their food. We thought we would beat the lunch crowd, but apparently, the place is always busy. And as before, the line moved fast and efficiently. We ordered amazing sandwiches, and more bread to take home, and then a slice of peach/pecan tart for desert and some chocolate corks (dark rich small chocolate cakes) with coffee.
We ate our food there, but Mike noticed that when people ordered their sandwiches to go, they would wrap them in paper and tie them with string.
I Love this place!
Thank you Bread Peddler for giving us plastic free options. And for offering such healthy, delicious food choices.
