Earth Day Together 2024 eco-friendly businesses

This year for Earth Day we are promoting how we take care of the earth through our sustainable practices and selling earth day tees that also plant a tree on behalf of the purchaser.  

    Every day is Earth Day for us because we sell gently used kids clothing to keep them out of the landfill.  We have a special promotion for Earth Day. On April 20th everyone who purchases will receive a $5 off coupon for their next purchase of $20 or more. 

 Our shop sells gently used items to keep them out of the landfill. We only use recycled packaging materials for everything in the shop and there are no paper receipts. 

 We advocate for environmental consciousness and support by choosing to stock sustainable and environmentally friendly brands in our business. 

 Most of the beauty and skincare brands we offer prioritize environmentally friendly packaging, opting for materials like glass over plastic. These brands either prioritize sustainability in their mission or actively work toward goals such as achieving a net-zero plastic footprint.  We deliberately select brands committed to sustainability because, as a small business, we believe in making a positive impact wherever possible. Unlike many large drugstores that may not recycle all empty plastic drug bottles, we do. Additionally, we opt for prescription vials that are eco-friendly, produced with reduced plastic usage and greenhouse gas emissions whenever feasible. 

  We're big believers, that its not what you do on Earth day, but what you do the rest of the year to be able to celebrate those initiatives on Earth Day; and set new goals for the future. Two years ago, we decided to eliminate plastic from our packaging, and we're proud to announce that we have now fully transitioned to 100% Certified Compostable packaging for all of our products. We continue to knit approximately 75% of our fabrics in Canada and manufacture all of our products in Canada. This helps eliminate international imports and exports, significantly reduces our carbon footprint and allows us to know exactly how our products are being produced. Over the next couple of years, we'll be continuing to push plastic out of product line and plan to re-introduce some product verticals where we've had trouble doing this in the past. It's a process, but please know, we're always working towards a cleaner future.   

 We ship all of our products out in a Certified Compostable plant based film bags and compostable mailers. Read about Canada Banana here :https://provinceofcanada.com/pages/canada-banana 

 We are a zero waste grocery store. Products are sourced sustainably and we are an educational space for learning about the carbon-footprint of your food (and how quality goes hand-in-hand with ecologically responsible practices). Customers can bring their own containers if desired. 

 Many locally sourced artisanal products like granola, maple syrup, healthy snacks and kombucha but also cleaning product refills. 

Featuring books for children about protecting the earth, environmentalism, and climate change and action!
