Reducing Waste with Sage Refill Market

Earth Day is upon us and I was lucky enough to be educated by Diana, one of the owners of Sage Refill Market near Belmont/12 South. Safe Refill Market is a Eco-friendly zero waste market in Nashville.

Diana mentioned that our landfill in Nashville will be full in less than 5 years and around 18% of that is plastic. Reducing our plastic consumption is an important step in mitigating these issues. 🌎️ 

This market can help by providing ways to reuse existing containers or purchasing everyday essentials package-free and without plastic.

You can learn and read more about Diana and her husband Mark’s aim to protect our planet here.
