Re-Usable Water Bottles Lots of folks are already on board with this idea, but after picking over 5 tons of garbage from our small portion of the river during last Fall's Plastic Purge, it is overwhelming the amount of single use plastic garbage in our waterways. This season at Shank's Mare, we are looking at alternatives to selling beverages in plastic bottles. The easiest solution for us all is to remember to bring your own multi-use, full water bottle wherever you go.

Consumer Packaging Every time you purchase an item, take a look at the amount of packaging you simply throw away. While hangtags tell us about what we are buying, do they have to be attached with a plastic tail....do you really need 3 or 4 tags on each item...do you need plastic shells on anything! At the shop, we are trying to eliminate plastic tagger tails and extraneous materials wherever we can. And all of you who comment that you don't need a bag for your purchases...Thanks!

Shipping Materials With more folks shopping from home, the glut of shipping materials is now overwhelming. In our industry full of environmentally aware individuals, we still see lots of waste in cartons, corrugated and plastic padding, large cloth sleeves, etc. especially with kayaks. We are making efforts to find local sources to re-use our large packaging materials that we are unable to recycle. If you have a need, let us know.
