You're already familiar with book libraries, but what about a tool library? How much money and storage space are we spending individually for a supply of tools only used occasionally? A tool library, or a "library of things," can help us all save money, reduce waste, and build community. But how do they work and how can you join one? EcoWarrior Kyla joins us to write a guest post on the subject.
This week we're sharing our third 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 2026 and more.
Let’s dive into one of my very first and very favorite zero waste swaps — reusable wool dryer balls. Whether you’re trying to reduce waste, cut out fragrances, avoid chemicals, save time, or save money, wool dryer balls are an absolute necessity. So let’s break down what exactly they are, why they’re so great, and how to get the absolute most out of them.
I’m currently in the midst of a full wardrobe overhaul. I know, I know, you're probably thinking, “But Krystina!! A full wardrobe overhaul is anything but sustainable!!” And in nearly all situations, you’d be absolutely correct with that reaction. Which is why I wanna talk about it today.
I have received countless questions about what to do with old, worn out clothes, and my answer has always been somewhere along the lines of “throw them in the trash can.” But are there better options? Does true textile and clothing recycling exist? Or are we all out here being bamboozled by companies trying to exploit our desire to do good? Let's dive into it.
Two products recently piqued my interest: parchment paper and aluminum foil. But one thing I’m adamant about is that I’m not going to bring in one disposable product to replace another disposable product when there are better solutions. So instead, let's talk about some truly zero waste alternatives to both of these items.
Today is a big one - Earth Overshoot Day. It's the day each year that marks when we have used as many resources as the earth can provide us. But what does that actually mean, why does it matter, and what can we do about it?
If you’re trying to “go green,” go zero waste, or simply live more sustainably (which, I’m assuming you are because you’re here, reading this 😉), these are my 10 favorite ways to be more eco-friendly in your daily life.
Let's talk about some of my favorite zero waste cleaning tips! There are a lot of cleaning products out there, and they’re basically all tailored to cleaning one specific thing. And not only that, most of these products are made with ingredients that aren’t great for our bodies, our families, or our environment. So let’s simplify and eco-fy that list, shall we?
I recently committed to following a consistent skincare routine with our zero waste, all natural skin care products and HOLY FREAKING MOLY my skin has never felt or looked better. Let's talk about which skin care products I'm using, how much, and - most importantly - why.
Summer is coming and that means vacays, beaches, and boatloads of sunscreen - so let's make it sustainable! What exactly is reef-safe sunscreen, how can you be sure a sunscreen is actually reef-safe, and why does it matter?
Our business model is built on circularity, but is it *really* more sustainable to ship empty jars and bottles back to us to reuse rather than just recycling them locally? Short answer: yes! Longer answer: let’s dive into it.
A friend recently asked what brings me joy. And truth be told, I didn't have an answer. So I sat with the question until I had a list, and now I have to wonder...why isn't this something we ask each other - and ourselves - more often?
While standing behind my display at a recent market, I realized just how sustainable our booth setup is. We’re committed to zero waste in all ways, but it wasn’t until this moment that I fully realized how much our zero waste values are translated into our display. So here's a peek at some of my favorite booth setup essentials and how we keep things zero waste.
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.
Today, I wanted to take a look at how much money we’re currently spending to deal with all the trash we’re throwing away, compared to how much it would cost to prevent that waste from being produced in the first place. In short… What is the cost of preventing waste instead of dealing with it after it's made?
