The alternative to gravity bins and refill stations are pre-filled returnable #deposit glasses, and some #organic #supermarkets have been significantly increasing the number of these products in their shelves. The #VorwerkPodemus supermarkets in #Dresden are among them, extending the range of their own farm products: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-dresden-supermarkets

In #Dresden, only one of formerly three #packagefree #supermarkets is left, but fortunately the local #organic food #cooperative VG with its many organic supermarkets (and also other organic supermarket chains) allow you to buy dry food (and sweets!) in your own containers. Here's the updated #organictraveller 's #guide to #zerowaste #shopping in town: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-dresden-zero-waste

No paper napkins at the #Tollwood #organic #winterfest at #Theresienwiese in #Munich (the place notorious for the Oktoberfest beerfest) - but you can have a returnable, reusable cotton napkin for a small deposit: This festival is the best example for how easy it can be to have fun without #plastics and other unnecessary waste. Open until Dec. 23, 2023 10pm: https://www.tollwood.de/

If you don't speak Portuguese it's not easy to find places offering #organic #food in beautiful (and easily navigable) #Lisbon / #Lisboa. So I hope the following research on location proves helpful: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-lisbon-zero-waste

#Packagefree #supermarkets try hard to find new ways to survive - and those in #Bremen are no exception: The nicest #zerowaste shop in town is about to relocate, leaving its splendid venue behind, another one is turning into a #cooperative . The updated #organictraveller's #travelguide https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-bremen-zero-waste also comes w/ new entries, e.g. a source of fresh #organic veges from a #communal #farm.

#Organic #ZeroWaste #supermarkets are rapidly disappearing in #Munich: Yesterday was the last day of pioneering, but now #insolvent #Ohne-Laden. To my knowledge there are only two #packagefree #groceries left in town, plus a handful in the greater Munich region, inside the S-Bahn urban train network: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-zero-waste

#Zerowaste #supermarkets are facing hard times, notably those established in the beginning of the #COVID19 pandemics. Many of them are forced to close now, among them the one in #Munich's neighbourhood of #Haidhausen I've been frequenting weekly for the past years, and the one in #Erding. I updated https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-zero-waste accordingly.

I'm not aware of a traditional #artisanal #organic #butcher shop in #Dresden, but earlier this year a #vegan equivalent opened its doors in the #Neustadt neighbourhood. Time for a handful of updates to the #organictraveller's guide to #zerowaste shopping in town: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-dresden-zero-waste

In need for a #snack or a proper #Sunday #breakfast? #Artisanal #organic #bakeries are easy to find in #Munich, and make it easy to #avoid_waste: Simply bring a clean cotton bag. Here's a new #organictraveller's guide to #baker and #butcher #shops: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-bakeries-butchers

Independent #zerowaste #supermarkets are facing a hard time, although they offer both, a #stress-free, ad-free #shopping experience, #organic, often fairly produced and short-travelled #food that's good for both, humans and the planet, and the opportunity to buy just as much as needed.

If you want such friendly alternatives to survive, support their crowd-funding - https://www.startnext.com/ohne-laden for the shop in #Munich I buy most stuff at - and buy #Xmas food and gifts there: https://www.organictraveller.de/zero_waste

One of my favourite #zerowaste #supermarkets was located in #Salzburg / #Austria. Unfortunately it's gone, and I haven't found a replacement yet *). Nevertheless https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-salzburg-zero-waste has new entries, among others a gorgeous #organic #bakery and a flagship store for the #plasticfree (or reduced) househould.

*) Let me know if you know about one. #askfedi

I'm notoriously bad to announce minor updates (like updated opening hours) of the #organictraveller's #travelguide, but here I am: the guide to #organic #supermarkets in #Verona in its summer 2022 version: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-verona-zero-waste

A new destination in the #organictraveller's #travellersguide: the medieval town of #Esslingen / #Württemberg. Here are my #suggestions on where to do your #shopping when you care about both, #fairly produced and preferably #packagefree #organic products: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-esslingen-zero-waste

#Lilienthal is not only the terminal stop of Bremen's tram no. 4 and a #familyfriendly #bicycle destination from #Bremen, but also a perfect place for daily #zerowaste purchase: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-lilienthal-zero-waste

While I learned about another covid-19 born #zerowaste #shop opening in the greater #Munich urban area Germany's second #plasticfree shop gave up it shop premises and is now online only. Sad.
