Welcome to Society Zero

GLASGOW’S ZERO WASTE SHOP AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

We are a Community Interest Company with the main aim of providing zero waste and plastic free food, produce and products to Glasgow and it’s surrounding areas through, our pop-up shop and programmes.

Through our Zero Waste Pop Up Shop we will not only provide you with plastic free food and environmentally friendly products to enable you to live a minimal to zero waste lifestyle but we also aim to support marginalised and disadvantaged groups.

Come along to our market stalls to purchase products to help lower your environmental impact while supporting a local independent business with a good cause, or to one of our events and learn more about how to live more zero waste.

Our stock is always expanding so be sure to sign up to our mailing list to find out what we have at each market stall and check our social media too

If you can’t make it along to one of our events, then have a browse through our Blog to read up on how even simple changes can reduce your environmental impact, changes you can make today, interviews with people already living zero waste for some inspiration and also to keep an eye out for updates on what we’re doing next.

Society Zero will not only support your local communities through our events, workshops, talks and programmes but provide a support network and educational environment suitable for all demographics to ensure living with less impact on our environment is accessible to as many as possible.

You can read more about our creation, values and social aims through our About Page.

  • 🌍 It's Earth Day 2019! Yes, we focus on reducing waste and making zero waste accessible to everyone, but we also talk about the bigger picture - climate change and hope to help people to tackle it in their own wayβ € .β € 🌍 The reason so many are now focusing on plastic is because it's a problem we can see right in front of us, it affects our emotions and therefore we respond, it's more difficult to see the problems of climate change when it happens much slower (although it's definitely more noticeable now) and we can't witness it in front of our eyes apart from "lovely weather" and extra rainfall, this is why so many of us have focused on what seems feasible to usβ € .β € 🌍 If we want a planet to live on with less effects of climate change through anthropogenic causation then we need to see what we as communities and individuals can do, which is why we've made 5 small changes most people can makeβ € .β € 🌍 Reduce your flying and car journeys, switch to a green energy supplier, speak up and use your vote, change your buying habits (reduce, reuse and repair where possible), lower your food waste where you can, eat as locally as possible to reduce your carbon footprint and lower your meat & dairy consumption #earthday #earthday2019 #noplanetb #xrs #xr #climatechange #environmentalism #environmentalist #extinctionrebellion #environment #sustainableliving #sustainableplanet #sustainability #mitigation #environmentalscience #ecowarrior #ecotools #livingsustainably #oneearth #oneplanet #ourplanet #climatestrike #strikeforce #socent #community
