Are you still unsure about how the refilling process works? Here is a quick tutorial ☝🏼 Just follow these steps: • bring your own container • weight your container by pressing ‘container tare’ and place your 1st sticker on your container • fill your container with the desired product • go back to the scales, select what you’ve filled your container with, and scan the barcode from your first sticker • this will allow you to print a new sticker with the price, BB date, and the name of the product It’s one of those things which once you do them, they make absolute sense. If you are unsure, just ask a member of staff for help. FOR EARTH. FOR GOOD.

The refilling process is very simple. We measure all the liquids by the volume. Just bring a container (any container will do) that either states what the volume is, or you know what it is. If you are not sure, you can either measure it at home using a jug or talk to one of our members of staff. So just bring it, fill it up, and take it to the till. That’s it! ♻️ We do have branded @fill_co bottles available at our shops if you need one. FOE EARTH. FOR GOOD.

I found this poem my Simon Heywood quite thought provoking. I was really saddened to hear that it had been felled in what might turn out to be an act of vandalism or even eco vandalism. But ancient trees are felled all the time so why are we so upset about this one when we should be angry about all of them ? What's your point of view?

It can't be all work and no play. Grateful for all our lovely staff, past and present. @thedoghouseedinburgh @antojitos.streetfood #loveourteam❤️ #goodtimes #maketimeforfun

You need to know this! There could be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. 🌊🐟😢 We hate to say it but if our society dependant on #plastic does not change, this will happen. And this represents only a fraction of how bad the plastic pollution is. #Refilling is sustainable, pleasant, and enjoyable. It massively reduces plastic waste too. Every now and then it is vital to be reminded of the facts about plastic pollution to keep on being motivated. Yet, its not too late to save the oceans. There are plenty of plastic-free alternatives for everything. For instance, @beautykitchen offers a broad range of plastic-free beauty products. They are mainly supplied in aluminium bottles, which can be endlessly recycled or reused. ♻️ Drop off your empties at our stores so we can send them back to Beauty Kitchen. Another example would be a plant-based body brush, or laundry sheets. Both are biodegradable and are not wrapped in plastic. Solving the #plasticproblem is everyone’s responsibility. Whatever small change you can do helps. So lets do it! 💪🏼 We are always here to help. Take a look at @plasticfreejuly for more information about simple steps you can do to make a difference.👣 FOR EARTH. FOR GOOD.

The truth about cheap cleaning products. 😶 Are you still wondering if buying eco-friendly products is truly that much better? 🧐 Yes, it is. Here’s why: - Conventional cleaning products contain chemicals such as chlorine, 2-Butoxyethanol (which can irritate the respiratory system, be acutely toxic, and is harmful to aquatic life), formaldehyde, parabens, triclosan, and many other harmful chemicals - They not easily biodegradable and are toxic - They cause irritation and pose risk to health - They require the use PPE which costs more money and creates more waste - They pollute the environment: the soil, water systems, and also the air we breathe - Conventional brands don’t offer refills, increasing the plastic consumption and waste The list could go on, but these are the most essential reasons how bad cheap cleaning products can be. ❌ So next time you are buying a toilet cleaner or a bathroom cleaner, think twice. Eco-friendly products are non-toxic, highly biodegradable, and minimise health risks. What is even better, they are powered by plants. You can lower your waste by getting refills and feel great and motivated about cleaning your house. Eco-friendly is undeniably far better! 🌿✅ FOR EARTH. FOR GOOD.
