That’s right! America Recycles Day! What? You didn’t know???
Neither did we. And while we’re on the subject, we confess…. we’ve been a little lazy. We haven’t made recycling a priority in our lives either. Sound familiar? No mas! Today is a great day to renew your commitment to reducing, reusing and recycling. Feeling intimidated? Don’t be! Go here http://www.50waystohelp.com/ for 50 great ways to get started. A few highlights:

1. Hang your clothes to dry.

(We at Ophelia never recommend putting your swimwear in the dryer.)

2. Buy locally whenever possible.

3. Pay your bills online.

4. Share a shower

(Yep- that’s right. We said it…sharing a shower reduces water usage. And increases ♥♥♥)

“Okay, okay. Enough with the lecture already! We get it!”
So, you’re recomitted and ready to go. One final tip- support artisans/businesses that incorporate recycled materials in their products. And here at Ophelia- we do! We are proud to carry Kim White’s incredible line of handbags which are made from vintage fabrics(some originally created from auto interiors), recycled leather straps and specially cast hardware.
