Roots 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 #ZeroWaste
