Change is on the Horizon!
Change seems to be on the horizon! Fashion has allotted me the opportunity to travel throughout the US, and what I've found is promising. Albeit seemingly inconvenient at times, purpose is greater than the cost of inconvenience, especially when that cost has a negative impact upon the earth. My travels to California allowed me to witness what is beginning to catch fire across the country. By encouraging consumers to use reusable shopping bags, along with paper and/or metal straws and other sustainable alternatives.
As I've traveled the country I've noticed larger cities such as Chicago and Denver encourage use of reusable shopping bags. And much like California, if plastic bags are needed they are available at an additional cost per bag. Nothing like an encouraging push to help eliminate the use of plastic that often finds itself contaminating the ocean with approximately 8 million tons of waste. Not to mention the extensive decomposition period of which toxic materials are released in the soil from plastic, and if burned toxins are released into the atmosphere creating pollution.
So with this being said, our commitment to sustainable living and creating sustainable alternatives, The Faux Goat will begin producing reusable shopping bags. We will have them available in bundles for sale, as well as, gifts with other product purchases. I for one, am very excited about this addition to our family of sustainable lifestyle alternative products. Let's keep pushing for change!
