Shop local to Sonoma County (this supports our local economy and businesses to recover faster from this crisis and ensures a lower carbon footprint).
If you shop online, choose a company that is local to Sonoma County, if possible, and uses alternative fuels or electric vehicles.
Add things to your cart, but don’t purchase until you absolutely need something in your cart. In other words, make purchases less frequently so that the order can be consolidated in packaging and less trips made to your residence.
Choose the longer delivery time
(some companies will give you perks if you choose a longer delivery time).
Create a note in your online order requesting less packaging, recycled packaging, recyclable, or compostable packaging, etc.
