About the volunteering opportunity

What is this commitment about? Buying in unpackaged stores can save a lot of plastic and other waste. In this way, you actively contribute to avoiding waste and can also decide for yourself how much food you really want to buy. This can be particularly advantageous for single households, as pre-packed products often contain too much for one person.

----------------------

What are 5-minute commitments? With our 5-minute commitments, we want to inspire you to easily integrate commitment into your everyday life. They are independent of charitable organizations and enable you to make an individual commitment to people and nature in your neighbourhood.

Your Tasks

All you need to do to make this commitment is to visit a store with unpackaged food near you. For your visit, simply bring as many containers (empty jars or Tupperware) as you would like to purchase goods. However, stores often have additional empty containers on site that you can use.
