Original Unverpackt is our Dream Grocery Store
Sara Wolf and Milena Glimbovski have created the first zero waste, zero packaging supermarket. Original
Unverpackt in Berlin is the solution to a worldwide problem.Chocobo Names
The duo were troubled by all of the waste from traditional supermarkets and their wasteful packaging.
Because of this, they decided to open up their very own store and make sure that there would be no packaging, and therefore no waste,
“What we tend to forget is that those packagings are only 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 Käs
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 are mostly in bulk bins including fruits, vegetables, and dry grains. Pourable liquids like yoghurt, 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 buying exactly the amount of food you need without having to pollute our planet in the process?

How History Proves There’s No Such Thing As the ‘Ideal Female Body’
One of the most quoted lines from Tina Fey’s Bossypants is:
“Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan

The hilarious, talented comedienne is not far off with her cultural critique. Young girls and women of all ages are constantly being told what they should or shouldn’t look like

. We are encouraged to lose weight, but maintain our curves; to have small waists,
but also a big booty to twerk with. 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 was further the irrational perception of what her body looks like. I don’t think her spread is atrocious because she’s naked –
I would never shame a woman for wanting to display any part of her body at her own will. What I think is troubling is how photoshopped the image is –
like a molded, fake plastic doll with proportions that wouldn’t allow her to be able to walk, or even sit.
Putting this image out is wrong because it should have been labelled as what it is:
A photoshopped piece meant to be gawked at and shared as many millions of times as it was.
However, for young girls and women this image further serves to ingrain a feeling of insecurity about the shape of their own bodies.
The video below, since it was shared by Buzzfeed earlier this week on Monday,
has been viewed more than 8.6 million times.
Below the video is the real story as users have been arguing about what an ideal body is and how they don’t appreciate
the unflattering labelling of some body types (i.e. Heroin Chic, Pre-pubescent, and Boy-like). One user writes:
Still others aren’t satisfied with the way that the models looks, as they don’t believe they are accurate representations
Despite this, it is still a wonderful video because
it portrays beautiful women as a whole.
Each and every one of those women is beautiful, not because of what their bodies look like, but despite of it.
