Quality goods are worth saving. This handmade Norwegian sweater has been in the family for generations, and the time has come to mend its holes. Excited to get it out of storage and back into the light of day to be worn and cherished once again.
Do you have a favorite piece of clothing that’s stood the test of time?

Friends - Tare Market needs our help! Minnesota's very first package free/waste free store is opening in Minneapolis this April, and they're seeking funds to purchase some of the nitty gritty needed for their space: bulk bins, inventory, nut and coffee grinders, and a refrigerator. To help them achieve their goal, they've launched an Indiegogo campaign with some terrific perks. (yoga, zero waste travel kits, coffee, natural beauty products, private classes...we could keep going!) Please consider making a donation: the work these ladies are doing is important, and we're so lucky to have them in our neighborhood!
Tare Market is excited to launch our crowdfunding campaign! By supporting us, you are voting for a system that doesn't create waste and helps move the world towards a brighter, greener future. We so a...
Sincerest thanks to the folks who came out this morning to chat about downsizing in a responsible manner - and all the complexities that go along with it. It was a delight to have a group with such a relaxed, conversational vibe. And another thanks to @moonpalacebooks for providing coffee and treats!
Tonight we'll be chatting with some of you over at @peacecoffeeshop. We're turning the tables and focusing on those of you who are being handed a bunch of stuff that you didn't ask for (aka The Dreaded Inheritance). We'll be bouncing ideas around and sharing our own stories in the hopes of helping others. You can see the full details of all our events and offerings here: bit.ly/2GfwfbY

...Meanwhile, on planet Earth... The vast majority of all plastics ever produced - around 79% - is accumulating in the deepest ocean trenches and atop mountains. And 40 percent of plastic produced is packaging, used just once and then discarded, like these bottles.
While we can't avoid creating waste altogether, we can reduce our output, and we can use our purchasing power to make impactful and sustainable decisions - because every choice makes an impact. And, for better or for worse, we're all in this together.
