As we find ourselves in the midst of an unprecedented situation we have to adapt. Some people are panic buying everything in sight. I actually witnessed one person stock piling sprouts, are we confusing the empty shelves with Christmas?!

It is not Oatley Barista but it really is very palatable and we are considering making this our long term plant milk. Now is not a time for discussing zero waste but we need to be aware that all of this panic buying is adding to the waste that we were all trying so hard to reduce just one month ago. This is a lower waste option, if you have a zero waste shop
