Happy Earth Day! To celebrate, we asked Woodstock Bring Your Own for a green reading list.
Woodstock Bring Your Own is a shop in Woodstock where you can bring your own containers and get them filled with any of the soaps, shampoo, laundry detergent, household products and other goods they sell--instead of buying not so nice products from other shops and wasting a new container each time!
If you don't have your own container to bring along, they also sell loads of cool ones, as well as water bottles for your kids (or yourself), reusable cutlery, dish brush replacement heads, lunch boxes, snack packs, coffee socks and all sorts of fun stuff to make us less wasteful and preserve the environment.
If, like me, you need advice on how to play your part in saving planet Earth, Woodstock Bring Your Own has a big bookshelf filled with lots of educational material for all ages and levels.
Alex, the shop owner has sent us a very useful reading list, see below!
