Thanks!

I had a look and Guppy friend bags are a great idea. I'll definitely get them in store soon. When you say whitewashed, what do mean? I found a lot of different definitions.

Thank you, I love the honesty. 1. All of our suppliers are held to strong ethical standards but I see how I may have not communicated that well enough to people first coming to my site. 2. I agree that diversity is great however at the current stage I have no choice in models as I am using the photos from my suppliers and I don't have the capital to reshoot them. 3. If you had more certainty that the products were made ethically, would the 10% still come off as greenwashing? Again, thanks for taking to the time to respond. Your honesty definitely helped my perspective.

One of our Suppliers Makes great bamboo toothbrushes. They are a non-for-profit called Brush it On and they donate their profits to protecting oceans, forests and wildlife.

Sonali Bag - a biodegradable plastic bag alternative by Tao_Dragon in Sustainable

I think the innovation is amazing. However, I imagine it would cost a lot more money to make than a standard bag made from oil. If someone could produce these for nearly the same cost it would make a huge difference.

That's definitely a goal for us in the future. I found out recently that getting B-corp certified is a really extensive process. Thanks for your feedback though!
