It's tough to operate a clothing store and be completely green but we are trying to do our part.
Our paper bags are made from 60% post consumer recycled material. We intentionally did not put our logos on the bag to insure they would be easily biodegradable. While we prefer for our clients to reuse them at home, at least we know if they make it to a land fill... they won't take up much space for long. Our plastic bags are made from corn and therefore biodegradable in less than 5 years.
we offer a large variety of sustainable fabrics. Including organic cotton t-shirts, bamboo yoga wear and hemp clothing to name a few.
Most of our lights are compact fluorescent bulbs. (including the flood lights outside illuminating our sign) When an old light burns out, we always replace it with an energy saving option.
We recycle most of the packaging that our merchandise comes in. Some of the plastics can not be recycled (apparently there isn't a "market" for it) but we recycle as much as we can.
