Customers are encouraged to bring their own containers,  and to bring in clean jars for others to use.  For online orders, gently used boxes (often donated by customers) are used for shipping, and things like old sewing patterns are used for packing.  The shop is full of eco-friendly and socially responible products for purchase locally or online.</p>]]></description>

Since it's free, I take advantage of it during the school year. Since it's summer, they are closed, so I plan to visit Eco Inspired this afternoon to refill my hair products. I hope their prices are reasonable, so let's see!</p>]]></description>
