With EVERYONE switching over to re-useable bags the forests will surely be saved soon, maybe by this time next year... I wonder.  What will be saved is your soul when you tote your own bags along to the market or the mall.  We have an array of lovely and stylish bags to choose from.  They make great gifts (or gift bags) and truly do count towards the greater good. 

Stay tuned for our Earth Day *special* to help you tote your goods, drink your water, bring your food, and generally do the right thing.

Another way to be a good steward of the earth is to create less waste.  Toting your own refillable water vessels around not only ensures the quality of the water you drink, it cuts down on the massive quantities of plastic bottles consumers like us use and discard every day.  Even when we recycle we are using energy.  Toting a re-useable bottle could be the easiest and most impactful thing each of us can do each day.  ...that, and turn the water off while you're brushing your teeth. 
We've got a variety of bottle styles to suit everyone's needs and budget. 

What do we have here?  A smattering of take along utensils that won't break the bank, but will conserve on disposable flatware.  Keep it very simple with the ultra-spork, the fork-spoon-knife-in-one.  Perfect for hiking, camping, or your office desk.  Or you can take it to the next level with To-Goware's Bamboo Utensil Set with fork, spoon, knife, and yes... chop sticks.  All this in a lovely carrying case.  If you plan to travel, camp, or pack your own lunch and need some inspiring food accessories, stop by PROGRESS and grab some of these and some reusable food containers too!

Water Conservation

A good place to start conserving our most precious resource is in the shower.  Shave a little time off your shower, have more time to smell the roses. 
The 5 Minute Shower Timer is just $4.95 and will probably save you at least that much on your next water bill... if you use it.
Also makes a great gift for roommates, grads, and dads.  Don't even think of getting your mom one as a gift... that shower is the only time she gets to herself the whole damn day!  (but I digress)
