Going in to fill up my shampoo bottle is so much more fun than going to cvs and spending a billion dollars on more plastic. The shop I go to in manhattan is called A Sustainable Village! The people are very nice and it smells amazing

I was talking to a friend about how I'm trying to substitute some home goods for sustainable ones from ZeroWasteStore.com and they informed me that we have a local brick-and-mortar that provides the same things! When I told capyboppy and thickrimmedgirl about the recent revelation, they searched and quickly found similar options near them. It seems waste conscious products are becoming increasingly available locally and online. See if you can find a spot near you.

Go to credo beauty to recycle empty cosmetic containers! You get points and can redeem for free products! It’s super easy and they’re sooo nice. They have two locations in New York and one in Chicago I think, hopefully will be in other cities soon too!
The top row is what you can recycle!

The concept of sustainability is fraught with so many imperfections in reality, but I still strive to do what I can on a personal level to minimize my impact on the environment. One of the easiest ways to do that recently has been to shop with retailers that place an importance on sustainability. In NY, I would often visit Package Free in Williamsburg for sustainable home goods and reusable items. Sustain LA is basically the equivalent on the eastside of Los Angeles. I came to LA with just a suitcase so I bought just about everything I could for my home from here, but their refillable program probably provides the greatest benefit. You can buy or bring your own containers and fill them with whatever products you need: soaps, oils, laundry detergent, ...even deodorant. The world still has a long way to go in embracing sustainability as a necessary component of our infrastructure but finding ways to be a conscious consumer is a good enough start that I find quickly becomes a more holistic way of life.

I can have complex relationships and contradicting feelings!
I contain multitudes and I have plenty of time!
