Refill markets make low waste living achievable with products like these! Compostable cleaning cloths and sponges and razor refills that can be recycled. As the name suggests, bring your own containers and refill them with products like laundry detergent, facial toner, hand soap, etc. Another reason to love refill markets, they’re known for carrying a variety of locally made products and creating a community around low waste living.

Bare Bones Butcher is Nasvhille’s west side sour

Bare Bones Butcher is Nasvhille’s west side source for locally and responsibly raised meat. Bare Bones is a whole animal butcher shop, sourcing organic meat from farms within 60 miles of Nashville. Stop in to shop a selection of artisan food products and fresh meat. If you’re hungry, their cafe menu offers a selection of mouthwatering sandwiches. We love Bare Bones because of their sustainable and organic souring practices, ensuring humane animal treatment, all things that align with our values.

Last summer, I visited a municipal composting faci

Last summer, I visited a municipal composting facility in Vermont. Among the rows where organic waste was breaking down into nutrient-rich soil, green bags were sticking out that hadn’t broken down. Why were these bags still intact?

When purchasing green bags with the intent of composting, this is information you need to be aware of because all green bags aren’t created equal.

Compostable bags are made with plant-based materials. When composted, they break down into water, CO2, and nutrients that feed the soil.

On the other hand, biodegradable bags are made with plant-based materials and plastic. While they typically break down, they’ll leave microplastic debris in the environment.

In your journey to transition to earth-friendly products, compostable and biodegradable bags are a great alternative to conventional plastics, which can take years and even centuries to decompose fully. If you want to go the extra mile, read the labels to ensure your bags break down into healthy byproducts, not microplastics. Additionally, look for the BPI certification that meets ASTM D6400 and the OK Compost Home seal on the packaging.

If a product claims to be biodegradable but lacks the certifications mentioned above, it’s best to pass.

Allow us to introduce you to a sustainable colored pencil.
About 82,000 trees are cut down yearly to make pencils. That’s according to Zefiro who makes the pencils we carry in the shop. Unlike conventional pencils, these wood-free colored pencils are made with recycled newspaper.

Maui has been in my heart and on my mind since the fire. I’ve been lucky enough to visit a handful of times and Maui’s majestic beauty always reminds me that we’re a small part of a larger ecosystem. The culture and history of Hawai’i draws you in as it permeates every aspect of Hawaiian hospitality.

As the Lahaina community starts to find a way forward, help small business owners keep their businesses open by supporting them through this difficult time.
