RECYCLING AND ALTERNATIVE LIVING
Yes folks, the environmental bug is catching on quickly and spreading like wildfire! Now you can take your plastics to the park obliquely opposite Sun Eaters at Murray and Roberts St.., where they will get picked up, sent off to China, shred and reused to make products like shoes and clothing! So don't forget to keep sorting your trash with more mindfulness and help to do your part to save our country's environment.

The actual selection of produce depends on what is in the shop at the time. Anything that you don't want you are encouraged to pass on to new friends to get them started.

One of the central ideas in yoga philosophy is ‘ahimsa’ or ‘non-harming’. In the Moksha community we work together to practice ahimsa toward the environment. If you’d like to join us in this collective effort check out the monthly videos for some simple ideas on how to create less of an environmental impact in day to day living.
