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 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.

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.
