WHY OPEN AN UNPACKAGED minimal-waste STORE in Alaska?
​

Well . . . . . 

BECAUSE. . . . . 

• Because disposables and even recyclables never go away, so refusing and reducing them makes sense.
  
• Because more convenient unpackaged options will help modify our society's disposable, quick-fix shopping habits.
  
• Because the oceans and earth need us to pay attention.​
  
• Because Alaskans care about the wilderness.

We Believe . . . . . 

• ​We believe in taking steps to change waste-producing purchasing habits.
  
• We believe that people want to participate in change.
  
• ​We believe in the global trend to return to a simpler, friendlier, slower paced lifestyle.
  
• ​We believe package-free shopping is a process of changing habits that our culture is ready to embrace.
