Celebrate Earth Day with local makers

SM-EarthDay-SecondaryStory-V1a.png

We’re giving local businesses two green thumbs up. This Earth Day, we’re getting in the sustainable spirit by highlighting our environmentally-friendly brands.

Try syrups from Sweet’s Elderberry or a sparkling non-alcoholic beverage from Sarilla to give green drink a double meaning. Need a stronger boost? Purity Coffee has you covered.

Bring the Earth Day celebration inside with an organic coconut wax candle. Pro Tip: Use the vessel as a planter after it’s fully burned. Speaking of reuse – check out these Pirani Stackable Tumblers designed to make convenience less wasteful.

Strut your sustainable style with a retro beanie from Rainier Watch, plus 5% of your purchase goes towards National Parks protection. If you’re looking for more modern (but equally environmentally-friendly) styles, give Seaave a glance.

Feel fresh from head to toe with personal care products from Parrotfish or skincare by Salt & Ash Soap Co. Plus, She Biology’s relief balm, face creams, and drops are all organically made.

The Earth Day vibes don’t have to slow down here. See our full collection.
