Earth Day 2021-Restore Our Planet

Doing our part to reduce waste one recyclable, one compostable and one upcycled garment a time.. because every day is Earth Day here at The Nawaar Marketplace!

Restore Our Planet: Yes, It Is Possible!

Every Day Is Earth Day: Our home away from home in Bodega Bay, California.

From our friends at EcoEnclose:

The theme of Earth Day 2021 – Restore Our Planet – may seem farfetched, especially if you’ve binge watched too many doomsday documentaries about the planet.

In fact there are so many current examples of ecosystems that have been healed, some of which are now operating in net neutral or positive ways…

At The Nawaar Marketplace we take minimizing waste seriously.

Zero Waste

By choosing to offer on-site recycling & composting and with our efforts to re-use those materials that are not recyclable or compostable we are nearing our goal of being a zero waste business.

Helping Others Reduce Waste

We partner with other local businesses and individuals to accept their unwanted paper packaging, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, foam padding & cardboard boxes and reuse it in shipping.

Upcycled Costuming & Clothing

What does ‘upcycled’ mean?
It’s when you take an existing garment that is no longer being used and turn it into a brand new creation.

Giving new life to vintage sari fabrics is one of our favorite examples of our upcycled pieces. These amazing vintage sari fabric are cleaned, pressed and re-made into salawar pants and our popular corseted bodice tops.

Marketplace Consignments

Yet, another great way we encourage reuse.. and help you declutter your dance closet & make a little cash! Learn more about consigning with us and let us sell your unwanted costumes, jewelry and accessories.

How Far We’ve Come: Victories Since The 1st Earth Day

smoke pollution and more- let's make every day Earth Day!

From our friends at EcoEnclose:

“It can often feel like the world is falling to pieces. We are steadily fed negative information at every turn – about the environment, politics, the economy, safety, health, and more.

But even as tragic things unfold in the world, there are also pretty spectacular stories of hope, progress and change. In today’s blog post, we highlight inspiring environmental victories since the first Earth Day rallies were held on April 22, 1970. We share these to remember just how poor environmental conditions were in the 1960’s, to celebrate how far we have come, to remind ourselves of the power of collective action, and to reinforce the importance of legislation that has helped us come this far.”

When you purchase any product from us you can feel comfortable knowing we are working to reduce not only our business’s carbon footprint, but, also the carbon footprint of our clients, students and others in our community.
