As we enter the last month of 2008, I encourage some reflection on the various choices you have made throughout the year to "GREEN" your life. Make a list of all of the conscious ways you have changed your lifestyle to lessen your impact on our earth. Then make a new list, of the ways you plan to continue to grow towards a more eco-friendly existence in 2009! Remember, every small change is an accomplishment, so whether you have donated to an environmental charity fund raiser or you simply have bought your first eco-friendly sweater, it all counts! Little by little, every step you take will help. Here are a few things BODY has done to lessen our impact:
1. All café and boutique bags are recycled and biodegradable.
2. All office paper is recycled and used sparingly. Scraps are re-used for drawing in BODY kids!
3. Our recent remodeling uses recycled and eco-friendly materials.
4. We use Bio-Shield eco-friendly paint.
5. We buy our produce from local organic farmers.
6. Our boutique features eco-friendly, sustainable brands only. Nothing is made in sweatshops.
7. All Gift Wrapping for the holidays is organic and sustainable.
This is only a tidbit of what BODY has done to be an environmentally conscious business, and we are doing more every day!
