A new store opened in our town where a typewriter repair shop used to be (really!). It's called "Right On! Refillery." They are innovating "zero waste retail" and sell bulk products you put into refillable containers. They sell products for Bath & Body; Cleaning & Laundry; Hair & Beard Care; Health & Beauty; Kids & Baby; Oral Care; and Pets.

They are setting up a bottle drop-off / refill service which is a great idea. I haven't stopped in yet, but I like the idea.

I'm disappointed that most of their bulk containers appear to be PLASTIC, not glass or ceramic, though (photo). I do see some glass jugs in the lower right.

Their web page says "Less than 9% of plastic actually gets recycled. California dumps more than 12,000 tons of plastic into landfills every day." That is 24 million pounds of plastic dumped every day in California. The state has 40 million people, so that implies every person here is generating 1.7 pounds of plastic waste every day. That seems high to me.

We used to do something like that at at our local food coop.

Miss it.
