Our Philosophy on Sustainability

We recognize that no one is 100% sustainable 100% of the time, us included! Our mission as a shop is to provide a welcoming environment to explore habit changes, sustainable swaps, and just generally ask any questions you have about minimizing single use plastic in your life. Really! We love questions :)

We want you to feel confident in choosing to shop with us, which is why we source products with three key criteria in mind: sustainable ingredients/materials, ethical production practices, and high quality performance. Everyone's idea of what makes something 'sustainable' or 'eco-friendly' is a little different, so we try to have a variety of products to align with different perspectives. If you are looking to avoid a particular ingredient or material, let us know and we'll be happy to help direct you to the best fit for you. (If you want a deeper explanation of our ingredients and product standards, please check out this page.)

We also do our best to try and make sustainability more accessible to people. Some of our major focuses in supporting people, both new and experienced, in living a low waste lifestyle include our community supported recycling programs, farmers market pop ups, and store events (when we have the bandwidth!). We have worked hard to build these programs to create community around the low-waste movement because we believe that those connections make us more resilient in the face of eco-anxiety and eco-overwhelm.

Whatever your level of experience with sustainability or the waste reduction movement are, we're here to help!
