The Sustainable Life Shop is Born

Here is a cross post from my new online store...

So here it is the very first post about my new venture…

The Sustainable Life Shop


A store with one goal to provide a place where you can find products that make it easier to live a more sustainable, eco-conscious, greener life.  It is a place that accepts the fact that we live in the real world and in the real world you need things to be able to live your life.  What The Sustainable Life Shop does not accept is that those things need to be disposable or designed to have a short lifespan.
To that end, I here at The Sustainable Life Shop have created a curated list of products that I use in my life to make my existence more sustainable and more eco friendly.  As I get time each product will have an associated post here in the blog section featuring what I think of the product, how I use it, and what disposable products it replaces in my life My goal is not to provide a sugar-coated message about how each product is great but to go into it features both good and bad and let you decide if you want it or not.

In order to be sold in The Sustainable Life Shop, an item must meet two of my three standards for an eco-friendly product,

1. The item should be at least 75% compostable or recyclable at the end of its life.  We say 75% because many items are made of multiple materials and not everything can be composted or recycled.

 

1. Item must be durable and have a long use life: ie a steel water bottle instead of a single-use plastic water bottle.

 

1. Has the potential to completely eliminate a single-use item from your life.
