We are celebrating Mother Earth this week.  Events, films, and Instagram posts of the earth with heart emojis.  

Every day is Earth Day, right?  We hope so. What is my contribution?   I take my reusable bags to the grocery store, I try to buy veggies and fruits only when they are in season,  I don't buy pre-packaged food, I don't use straws, I don't buy fast fashion and it's still not enough. 

How does Habits contribute?  We try to support small companies that have a small carbon footprint. We are looking for alternatives to packaging and we strongly believe in buying quality items that will last a very long time.  Pieces that endure and have a shelf life longer that one season.  

One of the most exciting ways we are hopefully making an impact is with the collaborative collection Revival Jackson Hole, which will launch a new Summer Collection in June. A collaboration with Lisa Walker. We repurpose, reuse and embellish Army Surplus clothing for a new life as a fashion piece.  Not only do we save these pieces from a landfill, but we also turn them into something you can treasure for a long time.  

  Totem Salvaged reuses vintage pieces in their handbags.  Re/Done has been finding old jeans and giving them new life.  Jean Francois searches for vintage beads and rosaries at markets in Paris to create his amazing collection.  Just a few of the brands we carry that are making a difference. It's a great way for fashion to step up and help with the problems it has created.  

I hope that Habits can do its part by supporting these efforts and the companies that care.  Happy Earth Day!
