Today is all about one super simple, super tangible, money-saving, sustainability tip. Stop washing money down the drain (literally) and do this the next time you’re down to that last inch or so of lotion that just won't pump out.
Our community has been asking for this one for YEARS, and it's time I finally spill the tea. Is Blueland actually a sustainable company? Is it an ethical one? Is Blueland greenwashing us? Are their tablet pouches actually compostable and biodegradable? I'm diving into all of that and more, so let's [finally] get into it.
There are many ways to reduce our food waste, first and foremost being to simply buy less. But once that food is in our fridge or our pantry, what do we do with all of those expiration dates? First, we must learn what these dates mean. Because we’ve been bamboozled and all expiration dates are not actually the same.
Our zero waste, refillable body lotion was one of the very first products we added to our lineup when we launched, and apparently because I’ve been using it for so long I started to take for granted how phenomenal this stuff is. So let's take a look at WHY this body lotion rocks so much. AKA - what the heck is in it and what on earth do the ingredients actually DO for our skin?
For every pound of waste we, as consumers, throw out, seven more pounds are thrown away upstream. So you may be wondering, if you’re buying a zero waste product from us, is it actually zero waste for us, too? Or are we just taking things out of packaging and reselling them as “zero waste”? Take a peek behind the scenes with us!
This week we're sharing our second annual Year-End Report! I do not believe that you can be a truly sustainable company without transparency, and that's the goal of our Year-End Report: to be completely transparent with you. This year's report includes our sustainability impacts, donations, financial summary, goals for 2025 and more.
This week, we’re talking about how to find YOUR community (no matter where you live) and how to be a climate activist during a second Trump presidency and beyond. This post might look a little different than usual, and that’s because I want this to be a resource list you visit over and over and over again (and perhaps share with your friends and family members, too).
I went to the gym for the first time in a long time today. And when I got on the treadmill, I almost started crying. Things are heavy and it's hard to be a human right now, but I learned three things on that treadmill today that I think we should all remember in 2025.
Our reusable unpaper towels are one of our best-selling zero waste swaps every year - and for good reason. We've searched for the best reusable paper towels on the market and we believe we've made the perfect ones. But don't take our word for it. Take a peek at what our community has to say about them and what makes them such a perfect sustainable paper towel alternative.
I never thought I’d live in a city that doesn’t recycle glass. And yet, that’s the reality I’m living in right now, and…ya girl has some thoughts.
Today we’re gonna go on a deep dive all about our zero waste mouthwash crystals, and how this refreshing, low waste alternative to traditional mouthwash may be the sustainable oral care solution you've been looking for. We’re gonna answer every question you’ve ever had about them, because they’re really stinkin’ cool but perhaps not something you’re super familiar with. Let's dive in!
I just spent six days at the Vermilion Sea Field Station on our Baja EcoWarrior Retreat. This wasn’t the first time I’d visited the Field Station, but as I’ve reflected on this year’s Retreat and the impact it had on me, there’s one phrase that keeps coming up for me: Conservation is all of us. This wasn’t a theme of the trip. It wasn't even said on the trip. And yet…it’s all I can think about.
Last month I was part of a really cool event here in Tacoma - The Future of Textile Waste Symposium, hosted by The Chayah Movement. Today, I'm so excited to share the recording of the panel discussion I was part of: Redirecting Textile Waste: Closing the Loop and Innovating for a Sustainable Future.
This week’s topic is one of those, “Does it *really* matter, Krystina?” kinda topics, but also just a lot of fun to think about and super interesting to research. In honor of International Beer Day this Friday, today we’re talking about the sustainability of wine versus beer…because why the heck not?? 😄
