Renters and less-than-handy homeowners rejoice! This is for you. Realistically, most of us have fewer resources (money, time, know-how, etc.) for home improvement than we'd like. Most of us would also appreciate a more energy efficient home - whether that's for environmental reason, financial reasons, or both.

To-go food is a place where sustainability can often be overlooked. The idea of using a bag or foil we won't have to clean can seem so easy, and we often tell ourselves "just this one time," but those times add up and our carbon footprint grows.

  An important note about containers and our refill station. We LOVE the creative reuse of bottles, jars, and vessels of all shapes and sizes that we've seen come through the shop to be used again and again.
