Original Unverpackt is our Dream Grocery Store
Sara Wolf and Milena Glimbovski have created the first z
ero-waste, zero-packaging supermarket. Original Unverpackt in Berlin is the solution to a worldwide problem.
“What we tend to forget is that those packagings are o
nly a waste at the end of the day (and) we each produce 250 kg of waste every year.”
Sweet dreams are made of cheese – wir haben endlich Käse
Wolf and Glimbovski’s solution to this problem was to open their own supermarket – one sans produce bags, paper gabs, or any other kind of packaging.
Their assortment of about 350 products is mostly in bulk bins including fruits, vegetables, and dry grains. Pourable liquids like yogurt, lotion, and shampoo are dispensed into refillable containers.
Original Unverpackt is our dream market because it really does provide a viable solution to a problem, and who wouldn’t want to aspire to buy exactly the amount of food you need without having to pollute our planet in the process?

the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits.”
The hilarious, talented comedienne is not far off with her cultural critique.

The result of all of this incoming information is a society
of women that is thoroughly unhappy with the way they look.
Photoshop doesn’t help the ‘female body’ situation. Kim Kardashian’s recent disgustingly photoshopped cover and spread for Paper Magazine,
might not have broken the internet, but what it did w
as further the irrational perception of what her body looks like.

– I would never shame a woman for wanting to display any part of her body at her own will.
Putting this image out is wrong because it should have been labeled as what it is: fiction.
However, for young girls and women, this image further serves to ingrain a feeling of insecurity about the shape of their own bodies.

For me, the video proves that there is no such thing as an ideal body.
