Sustainable gifts can be just as big or small, practical or fun, and classic or funky as any other gift! We’ve compiled a Sustainable Gift Guide to help you shop sustainably this season so you can find the perfect gifts while staying true to your sustainability values!
As we wave goodbye to Secondhand September, let’s not forget that shopping secondhand can be celebrated year-round! We've highlighted many of Knoxville's vintage, thrift, and consignment shops to make shopping secondhand easier for you. Secondhand isn't just about thrifting - repairing and mending, using what you have, and upcycling are more great ways to extend the life of or repurpose something you already have... basically secondhand shopping at home!
It’s National Farmers’ Market Week (August 7-13), and we want to celebrate by sharing about Knoxville's farmers’ markets and why supporting local farmers and makers is so important. Nourish Knoxville's Market Square Farmers' Market is the biggest and most popular farmers' market in Knoxville, but we have several other markets in various locations throughout the week!
Now that you’ve cleaned and removed labels (or even if you didn’t remove the labels!) from your favorite glass jars, it’s time to learn how you can reuse and repurpose your growing collection. We have several ideas for your glass jars, but the opportunities are endless! Feel free to share any of your tips and tricks with other KnoxFillers in our comment section!
If you’re like many of our KnoxFillers, you probably have a small army of glass jars stored somewhere, waiting for you to take on the task of removing their sticky labels. Don’t let those labels intimate you any longer! We have removed labels from more jars than you could imagine, and we’ve got this process down.
Last week on the 'gram, we were sharing sustainability knowledge and asking questions and one prospective mama queried the community for tips and resources for raising her first little one low waste. You all had some excellent recommendations, which we've compiled here!
