You already know buying in bulk can be a great way to shop more sustainably. Cue in Costco—the chain store that has made it its mission to allow you to do exactly that.
While the company still has a long way to go in the sustainability department (some produce and bundles of products are wrapped in plastic), there are plenty of planet-friendly products to choose from.
