🌍 ♻️ ❤️ Happy Earth Day! Come check out @refillmerc and check out their cute Earth Month window display made from fishies cut from old magazines hanging on ribbon found in the back of their closet, and blue fabric found at the Reuse Hub. Imagine their plants playing the part of seaweed swaying in the currents.
“This display is meant to spark conversations on how much plastic is ending up in our oceans and ways we can reduce this. Because the truth is… our oceans are filling up with plastic faster than they should. And change can start small, right here, with what we choose (and reuse) every day.
While Earth Day is every day, we welcome this as a way to revisit why we all need to ditch single-use plastic. We hope you join us in making one swap, one shift, one change to help the fish thrive with less plastic in their homes.” 🐟
Sign up for their newsletters for ideas on how to reduce plastic in our lives and reduce waste! 🎉
Refill Mercantile is Petaluma’s refill store located in the beautiful historic downtown at 6 Petaluma Blvd N. Stop in and try a low-waste swap! They are open every day 11 am - 6 pm, except Tuesday. ☺️
Cheers to taking meaningful steps towards helping heal the earth!
