PUBLIC is your neighborhood low-waste living shop and go-to resource for sustainable goods and refills. We believe that with back-to-basics, everyday solutions we can reduce single-use product and food waste.
We understand that time is valuable and lives are busy. It’s our promise to you that our products and solutions will be simple and easy to put into practice.
Each of our curated products is thoughtfully researched and thoroughly vetted as an alternative to those that are single-use. Almost all of these products we use in our own lives; the rest are either recommended by customers or people we know and trust.
Whether you’re just starting out transitioning to a low-waste life or have been on the path for years, we take the guesswork out of which products are the most effective and effortless to use.
I began my own journey toward a lower-waste lifestyle while working closely with Fortune 500 companies that were developing sustainable product lines. It got me thinking about my own impact on the environment and how we, as individuals, can make a significant contribution to cleaning things up simply by reducing the waste we produce.
As I started out trying to find replacements for single-use products and minimize my waste from food, it was very much trial and error. Some products and solutions worked really well, others not so much. I knew there had to be a better way to make a low-waste life doable. Our lives are so busy and time so valuable, and in order to make a dent in the waste being produced, I knew I needed to take the guesswork out reducing it.
So, after 20 years working in marketing, I decided it was time to open PUBLIC to share what I've learned about reducing waste and I haven’t looked back!
These are my most requested DIYs at the shop! I'm not a fan using vinegar in my cleaning recipes (because of the smell and it's pretty caustic). My cleaning kit includes my most used ingredients; ethyl alcohol, baking soda, citric acid, and orange essential oil.
Why use citric acid? It reduces plastic waste (shipped in paper bags), more effective clean, and less corrosive than vinegar.
