With the COVID 19 coronavirus taking hold of the world, we’ve had a few days away from the shop to rethink how we operate to ensure that everyone is protected from infection as well as can be. This blog outlines how we intend to operate until further notice.

This is the second part of our blog on how to live a sustainable life in 2020. We share a range of ideas, including how to travel, ways to manage your plastic waste and how to engage with an enthusiastic community of likeminded individuals.

We’re hosting our first food event, where attendees will be able to learn how to make the Korean fermented staple known as kimchi. This blog talks a little about what the dish is about and it’s health benefits.

To celebrate the new year we’ve pulled together a list of 20 things that individuals and families can do to manage their impact on the environment and reduce plastic waste. This is the first in a multi-part series, which we’ll share during the first part of the year.

We believe in stocking only ethical products. Finding a coffee supplier that values their farmers and roasters as well as using biodegradable packaging has been a challenge, but we've finally done it.

We’re in need of some downtime to refresh and revitalise, so we’ve decided to close between Christmas and New Year. We have big plans for 2020 so want to hit the ground running!

We’re collaborating with local plant enthusiast that operates under the name Plant Collective. Plants can bring certain qualities to your space and it certainly feels good to have a corner of our store dedicated to greenery.

To celebrate our first Christmas providing sustainable and plastic-free shopping for the people of South Manchester we thought we’d throw our very own Christmas market. We’ll have festive treats and some unique gift ideas to treat your loved ones.

Vegan Christmas selection boxes are now available to pre-order in store. We’ve teamed up with local chocolate lovers, The Future Taste of Chocolate, to create this unique and damn fine gift of goodness.

In this, our first proper blog, we share some of the things we’ve been doing to minimise the amount of plastic packaging we use or live more sustainable lives. Hopefully you find it inspiring.

Palm & Pine offers a new kind of sunscreen that is not harmful to the environment and isn't wrapped in plastic. The company is looking for backers to its crowd-funding campaign, offering a range of incentives.

Withington Walls is a crowdfund campaign to raise money to decorate some of the spaces in the village with amazing street art. The organisers are still looking for money, so why not send them a couple of quid?!

Lentils and Lather and M20 Refills are to trial a unique delivery partnership, where people across South Manchester and Stockport will be able to have loose dried foods delivered to their doors to reduce single use plastic.

We did some tidying up on a hill in Central Asia.
