The gap between the last blog post (2018) and now (2025) is due to a company (BCorp) “Wisdom Supply Co.” that my business partner Nikki and I started in 2017 to address the plastic waste stemming from schools, and more specifically; Back to School Shopping Lists.
The company and all of our efforts and the products we designed and sold nationwide is another chapter for another blog post.
We have since exited the school/office supply manufacturing space, but are still working with partners who we are supporting as they position themselves to offer similar zero-waste school supply alternatives for students.
Our zero-waste weekly planners (100% Recycled and Curbside Recyclable) can be found at: wisdomsupply.org
As the author of these blog posts, I would like to note that some parts are a little cringey and often the tone was a bit righteous. I’ve grown and been humbled over the past 7+ years (thankfully) and hope you’ll bear that in mind.
I still think plastic is the devil’s business, and should be regulated like the toxic substance it is.
