Trace - The Zero Waste Store

Welcome, rain. We’ve needed you so badly and you stayed away for so long that it’s started to make me really worry.

We take the water you provide for granted, wasting you on things like lawns which do the environment no good at all, and running you mindlessly when we brush teeth and do dishes.

And did you know when it rains is the best day to run your errands? All the crowds stay away so you can get the clutch parking spaces!

Sure, it can be inconvenient and who doesn’t love a sunny day, but all we have to do is shift a little, adjust clothing, and we’ll be OK.

We learn something new almost every day. Someone came in yesterday in need of gluten-free shampoo. Well, the beauty of being a small business who knows our vendors is that we were able to get them on the phone quickly and we learned that in fact all of the shampoos we carry are gluten-free. In addition to having fantastic salon results without any of the plastic and chemical nasties, the shampoos are safe for people with all sorts of health issues as well.

Thank you and for answering so quickly and for being so intentional about your products. 🌎💚

May is month, and so all this week we are serving at Trace!

If you haven’t tried them, it’s like biting into a cloud. We love the packaging, everything comes in craft boxes or plain brown paper that is easily compostable. Thank you, and .entrepreneur for this intentional extra step.

Not only does he make amazing donuts with earth-friendly packaging, owner Hoang Ton came in to give refilling lotion a try. Thanks, Mike D for delivering him to our door! 🌎💚🍩

Happy in the rain. It’s really not that bad. Stop in and check out our indoor sidewalk sale - buy 1, get one half price.

No such thing as bad weather, especially when we need the rain so badly! So just wear the right clothes and come on down! ☔️🌎💚

Thank you, From Here to Home Essentials. It's easy to forget how mindless shopping has become. We're lucky to live where we do. So many of the things we need are here within walking distance, and in shopping small, we can build community, taking care of ourselves and each other.

It’s time for and we are ready with an indoor “sidewalk sale!” Everything on the table is BOGO 1/2 off. Starting now! Come see the treasures we put together. Treat yourself, and the planet. And maybe a friend or two 😉💚🌎
