According to the EPA, more than 380 BILLION plastic bags are used in the U.S. annually -- and an
estimated 100 billion are thrown away each year. Most clog landfills, but many end up snagged on trees and fences as an ugly reminder of our disposable society - yuk.

For the eco-minded shopper, reusable 100% cotton minusbags are the perfect alternative to plastic grocery bags. Created with a modern design sensibility, these bags demonstrate that you don't need to forsake style for sustainability.

As green as a candle can get, these candles are made from non-toxic plant based soy wax and come in an easily washable drinking glass. Soybeam candle packaging is also planet loving, it is glue free and made from 100% recycled materials printed with soy ink, making it completely biodegradeable. One more reason to indulge your senses with SoyBeam candles is the paper in which the candles are sealed is plantable because it's seeded with wildflowers. Oh, and they smell divine.
