Earlier this year, we hosted a book club for Zero Waste Week. It was a hit, and we were hooked.

So we kept going, and started the Better World Book Club. If you aren’t a member, scroll through to catch up on what we’ve read so far. Use this post as a list of recommendations, or as a preview of what kinds of content you’d be discussing if you joined us at our next meeting 😉

Next book: A Psalm for the Wild Built
Meeting: November 17th

Would you like to join? Sign up for book club email reminders in the shop or on our website! Happy reading!

Boo Baskets 👻

Cute idea? Or just another excuse to buy a bunch of stuff we don’t need?

We LOVE a thoughtful gift, but get a little spooked when they turn into another social media trend encouraging us to buy more junk. Like plushy pumpkins and plastic whatnots that end up in a donation box (or worse! the landfill 😱) by next year.

If you’re already committed to putting a boo basket together this year, we support you in this endeavor…
because sustainable boo baskets can be done!

Start with a basket or tote (bonus points if you use what you already have) and fill it with a few things your person will actually enjoy. Consider what you can make yourself, thrift, or buy locally instead of relying on online orders or big-box stores.

Scroll through for some inspiration to make it low-waste and full of love 🧡

And let us know how you would customize yours!

Life Unplastic has evolved over the years as we got to know the needs of the community better, but we have always stuck by the same core tenants:

💙 make sustainability easier
💙 make sustainability more fun
💙 give back to the community
💙 educate + empower people about the environment

As we have evolved once again and started hosting more community events, we feel more in touch with these values than ever!

Turns out you don’t need a brand new plastic bottle every time you run out of soap 😉

At Life Unplastic, we make it easy to reuse what you already have and refill everyday essentials instead of tossing more packaging in the landfill.

Our full-service refillery offers everyday essentials for every room of the house. Bring your containers (or we can provide some for you) for refills of laundry soap, dish soap, coffee, olive oil, and more!

Swipe for the full refill menu and:
✨ Buy only what you need
✨ Reduce waste
✨ Unplastic your routine

Located in Gainesville, FL ♻️ Sustainable Sunday = 10% off refills with BYO containers 🚗 Free local delivery on Saturdays 💚

Today (Sunday 5/17) from 12-3, swing by Life Unplastic for our Craft Supply Swap! Bring some old stuff, take some new to you stuff, and decorate a bookmark just for funsies!

05/15/2026

You have a couple more days to purge some of your craft supplies and either carve out some breathing room in a cluttered space OR make room for a new hobby.

Swaps are simple: you bring stuff, you take stuff, and you do it with no money being exchanged. It’s a fun way to make sure your unused things don’t sit collecting dust, or worse - end up in the landfill!

Our Craft Supply Swap Party is THIS Sunday, right outside of Life Unplastic in , from 12-3pm.

I’m so excited to see what you all bring! And who knows what you will discover?? It’ll be a treasure hunt for sure.

PLUS - we’ll be decorating handmade bookmarks right out front of the shop as well, so you can hang with your neighbors, use some of those crafting supplies, AND sign up for our new Book Club 📚✨

We hope to see you!
