A zero waste pantry is a great way to ensure you have no disposable packaging or plastic in your home. You'll need a set of small, medium, and large jars (you can use Mason Jars, invest in a fancier set, or use what you already have at home). The goal is to put all your pantry staples into reusable jars and containers so that you can refill them at a bulk foods store or bulk refill store whenever they're empty. This way you're limiting the waste coming in and out of your home.
