Valerie Hall+FollowRoots Zero Waste Market’s final days in BoiseRoots Zero Waste Market, the Boise grocery store known for ditching plastic and cardboard packaging, is closing for good on December 16. This spot made a real difference—just 25 daily shoppers helped keep 55 tons of plastic out of Ada County’s landfill each year. It’s wild to think there were only four zero-waste stores like this in the country when Roots opened, and now there are 1,300. If you want to see this unique place or stock up on waste-free goods, now’s your chance. How do you feel about losing a local business that pushed for less waste? #Food #Boise #ZeroWaste00Share
