With talk of how to save the planet on everyone's lips, lots of us are looking for ways to cut down on how much plastic we use. And one shop that opened on the North East coast last year is helping locals to do just that.
The idea to open zero waste shop All Good In The Hood in Monkseaton came to owner Kerri Roffe in the midst of the pandemic, when she no longer felt comfortable going to a big supermarket because of Covid-19 and found herself searching for a way to shop more locally.
Feeling that the area was crying out for a different way of shopping, and inspired by other zero waste stores in the region such as Buy The Kilo in Tynemouth, Kerry opened All Good In The Hood on Cauldwell Lane in August 2021.
