About:
Eco Now was created in 2018 by Thea as a way to provide a resource for the Orange County community to help people reduce unnecessary waste. She began by hand-sewing single use and plastic alternatives and offering them at the Placentia Certified Farmer's Market, and has extended to attend other markets as well. When Covid19 hit, Thea was an essential resource for others with hand sanitizers, hand soap, reusable facemasks, and toilet paper. While following CDC guidelines she still attended farmer's markets to be a resource for her community. She now has three stores and continues to support and promote local, small, sustainable businesses. At the Anaheim location they have Gather Air plant store, and also accept hard to recycle plastics so people can practice a zero waste lifestyle through their TerraCycle service with their non-profit partner H&B ProdEx. How cool is that?

About:
The Source Zero was founded by Ashley Merz. The brand was created to provide a resource for people who are working towards limiting their plastic footprint. They bring together women’s small businesses whose mission is in line with ours and provide a judgment-free education zone on how we can alter one thing at a time to keep our plastic use minimal. At the shop you can find earth-conscious, locally made daily essentials. With the growth of the brand, Ashley is aiming to be able to donate a percentage of profits to build an animal sanctuary. Shop the brand to do good:)
