The GOOD STUFF. For EVERY HUMAN.
We provide sustainable stuff to underserviced residents of our neighborhood
We provide sustainable stuff to underserviced residents of our neighborhood
We believe that the change necessary to affect the planet-wide garbage crisis can be created by saturating the market with eco-friendly STUFF that MORE HUMANS CAN AFFORD, plain and simple.
We achieve this by offering a reasonably priced refillery, an artisan market, and a pay-what-you-can cafe.
Change in business happens faster and faster as technology advances. As machinery marches on, more non-biodegradable waste is created, both in new products and the packaging it's sold in.
This impacts lower income communities differently because of the types of materials "bargain" products are made of, and it's doubled by how aggressively they are packaged for retail. Designed to make things look bigger and more valuable, packaging says little about the product inside. These unnecessary materials are discarded at purchase or after a single use. This is true waste. It's short sighted, outdated, and completely unsustainable.
On the other hand, change in communities is quite slow, and from the bottom up. It's a continual effort to SUSTAIN in communities where the hand to mouth economy is the standard, so we start there.
The core of Sustain Market is twin stars in orbit, a duet of stores working as one. One in an underserviced area, and one in a higher end market. These sister stores will share funding, menus, and events.
The stores will feature arts & crafts on consignment and for auction in our marketplace.
Phase 1: Online Store to provide startup funding.
At Sustain Market.com we carry ALL THE STUFF HUMANS NEED. Sporks. Diapers. Toothbrushes. Moustache wax. Deodorant. Shampoo. Natural skincare. ART. Meatloaf.
Whatever we buy in a small package, use up, then toss the forever garbage away. Poof. Need more STUFF now. *cha-*cha-ching* $ We want that $ to head our direction. So we're gonna be the best option.
Stuff we need. Stuff we LIKE. Stuff that helps us live our best life and stay healthy, clean and sane. We want to have it all in one place. A small FamilyGeneralTree'o'Bucks of reliable, effective, well designed consumable GOOD STUFF all humans need, and in packaging that doesn't cause as much harm to our Earth.
Some things in life, you only ever get one of. One home planet. One human body. Sometimes, one last chance. And we want to help humans who CHOOSE to take care of both, by making it available in our market.
AAAND we want to sell it for the same price as the stuff with rhinestones on it that smells like Nana's church perfume. We want these products IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS and we want them soon. Because we are the worst offenders. Our circumstances dictate that: by limiting our easy CHOICES, and demanding convenience items be all we can commit to.
Purchases on SustainMarket.com and fundraisers will finance our Pay-What-You-Can cafe. We will provide a cafeteria style dining experience offering specialties to a diverse array of dietary needs. We will offer a variety of meatloaves and meatless loaves, as well fresh baked goods and as beverages, included in every meal, if desired.
Onsite will be a retail outlet offering upcycled, vintage and handcrafted items created by local artisans for fundraising and on consignment.
Our goal is to provide needs to our underserved community and the whole dang planet, with one mission - Make EARTH LOVIN' STUFF and a healthy diet easy for ALL HUMANS. The underserved, processed food enslaved masses that make up the communities WE live in, too.
We hope to MAINSTREAM THE GOOD STUFF. Make it an obtainable and sustainable option for people who care about our big round Earth. Even us poor folk, sick folk, unhoused folk, special needs folk, older folk, weirdos, tramps, hobos, and otherwise under-served folk. EVERY HUMAN should have the OPTION to make a better choice. For their needs. For Earth's needs, too, IF THEY CHOOSE TO. We offer better choices, nothing more.
Ever been to a bargain store? These entities offer brand new, mass-produced, average quality STUFF! Stuff made without mindfulness and with minimal effort. Is it legal to sell? Mark it up! Sell it! And it works.
Because all humans need stuff, What a bargain, YAY!?
Did it sell? No? Trash it, but pour bleach on it and lock up the dumpster so that hobo won't steal it and sell it for booze. Or to feed their kids.
It FEELS like a choice. Lots of different STUFF in different colors and sizes and fragrances and glitter and rhinestones and...so many varieties of the same type of STUFF that all does the exact same thing. Literally.
It's all the same active ingredients, with similar additives to create "appeal" and aroma and effing sequins. BUT IT'S ALL THE SAME STUFF.
Prettier or standout to make you believe it was better than the exact same stuff right next to in seafoam instead of aqua, teal or peacock.
But STUFF IS STUFF, right? *crickets*
