Sustainability made easy (Our new section!)

  • Do you want to recycle used clothes that are not wearable?  H&M in Eaton Centre has a bin to drop them and they even give $5.00 off coupon if you recycle.
  • You can bring you own container to Bulk Barn. You don’t need to buy 1 kg of dry cranberries, this way of shopping can save money and decrease the plastic in the land field. Here is more info, if you are interested: http://www.bulkbarn.ca/Reusable-Container-Program/
  • Yes to reusable bulk bags (personal favorites):
  1. –  for bulk (light and gentle): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B002UXQ7QQ/ref=pe_3034960_236394800_TE_dp_i1
  2. – for vegetables in the store (more solid and bigger): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0778526H1/ref=pe_3034960_236394800_TE_dp_2

And since April 22 is Earth day – Please help us to recycle!
