Do you guys know about Carbon Environmental Boutique? You probably do, you savvy consumers, you. But just in case you don’t, it’s located downtown, at 10184 104 St., and is one of my very favorite places to shop. Which I know means a lot to you guys: the Sally stamp of approval: 60% of the time, it’s irrelevant all the time.
ANYWAY, as we all head back to school, I thought it might be helpful for everyone to know that most of the stuff you’re going to need is available in eco-friendly format from Carbon – at prices that are pretty much on par with what you’re getting at chain stores. Plus, you get to go to Carbon where they sell amazing things like solar powered backpacks and staple-less staplers.
Store owner Allison MacLean was gracious enough to show me a few of the back to school stationary products they have on hand. And seriously, if you haven’t been to Carbon, it’s worth the trip – even if it’s only to meet Allison, who is a walking encyclopedia of product knowledge.
How did I not know about this place? Thanks Sally!
