How to Find the Best Christmas Gifts
Every year, right after Thanksgiving millions of Americans flock to giant corporate stores to participate in the chaotic, waste-driven, spending fest that we know as Black Friday. Sounds crazy, right? Just after a day where we’re supposed to be thankful for what we have and spend time with family, we’re supposed to wait in long lines, push other people, and fight for cheap, low-quality stuff that’s destroying our planet.
Reflections from Plastic-Free July
As you know, Plastic-Free July has finally come to end. And over the course of this last month, I did my best to completely eliminate plastic from my everyday life. I avoided buying packaged blueberries. Everywhere I went, I carried my own cutlery. I didn’t buy bread because of its plastic wrappings. And I even brought my own containers to restaurants in case I had leftovers.
Plastic Free July
To celebrate sustainability and the environment, we are participating in Plastic Free July, a global movement that focuses on limiting single-use plastic and reducing the amount of plastic that we waste every single day. Imagine if you could see every single plastic water bottle you’ve ever thrown away. They would likely fill up your entire house, and that’s just plastic water bottles.
Our Roots
Meadow Collective was born 15 years ago, but its story started way before the shop opened. Ever since I can remember, I’ve had an entrepreneurial spirit. Growing up, I remember making little bracelets and selling them to my friends. I remember selling fruit I picked off our trees on the sidewalk. This was the beginning of everything.
