“Fill Good” at a Pop-up Refill Station

 
Plastic-free July is a worldwide movement aimed at easing the global crisis of plastic pollution. In partnership with the Ecology Center, local business Fillgood.co is offering pop-up refill stations during the month of July and beyond. Bring your clean jars and fill up on household goods like dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, and conditioner, all made from non-toxic ingredients. Fillgood.co also provides refills at its store in Albany and by delivery in the Bay Area. Info: ecologycenter.org; fillgood.co
