Taking it back to the beginning of Katie’s journey, in 2017, her sister decided to stop using plastic straws and instead invest in some stainless steel straws. This small act encouraged Katie to start actively thinking about the choices she makes as a consumer, and subsequently make changes to her lifestyle.

With the shutdown of mass factories in some countries, limited air travel, and less cars on the road during COVID-19, we’re starting to see the fall of pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon emissions worldwide. But what happens when “life as normal” resumes?

This marks week two of our customer of the week features!

Dawn Redskye is the second customer we’d like to highlight – a local artist & musician. Being Anishinaabe, she has learned a lot about land protection and how living in a high-waste society is detrimental to the natural resources that sustain us. Because of this, Dawn has taken on an eco-conscious lifestyle and hopes to teach her daughter, Quinn, the best practices.

Here at Reimagine Co, we are starting up a “customer of the week” project to feature across all of our platforms! We hope to highlight our community members and their zero-waste stories. Our first customer of the week feature, is a frontline worker – Justin Sim is a paramedic with Middlesex County, doing all he can for those in need, as well as the earth.

Starting July 20, we will have some modest price increases on about one third of our products. We pride ourselves on full transparency and instead of just changing our prices, we want to give you advance notice that this set to happen. Read on to learn what prices are changing and why.

For those who are newer to our community, Plastic Free July is a month where folks are encouraged globally to reduce single-use plastic and avoid it completely for the entire month (and hopefully inspire you to cut it out forever!)

We will spend the next few weeks sharing tips and tricks on how to reduce plastic in your home and your life. Read on for some tips for going into plastic free July...

Environmental racism refers to the disproportionate impact that waste, pollution, and the climate crisis have on black people, Indigenous people, and other people of colour.

This happens when governments and corporations expose minority and low-income communities to known hazards such as: contaminated water, carcinogens, and other harmful pollutants through building of oil pipelines, toxic waste dumps, and polluting factories at a much higher rate than white, affluent communities all while avoiding to put environmental rules and regulations in place to protect minority communities. 

While the term “environmental racism” may be unfamiliar for Canadians, experiences in communities across the country prove that it is a very real and still ongoing issue.

Black Lives Matter.

Systemic racism is worldwide.

Wear your mask, keep 6 feet, and most importantly, show your support at the protest organized by Black Lives Matter London this Saturday June 6th, 3:00pm at London ON – Victoria Park!

Reimagine Co has been and always will be open about where we stand on political issues. Silence at a time like this only shows complacency and complicity with violence.

Lots of you have been asking when our store will reopen and when you’ll be able to refill your containers again. We've been in contact with the Health Unit and with the City and have developed a detailed plan to ensure customer safety when we reopen, without taking away from the experience of shopping at Reimagine.

However, following careful consideration, we have decided to remain online-only throughout June. This means that both our 211 King St location and our Western Fair District Market location will remain closed and will not reopen until July at the earliest.
