Earth-Friendly Finds: Back-to-School Shopping with Purpose

August 27, 2025

School's back in session—but that doesn’t mean we have to let fast fashion or waste rule the day. Here are local shops in SLO County doing back-to-school with a conscience:

EcoBambino (SLO) — A community favorite stocked with natural, educational, and eco-friendly goodies for kids—from plush toys to creative learning essentials.
Junk Girls (Atascadero) — A delightfully quirky home and style boutique featuring upcycled, vintage, and repurposed treasures that spark creativity and support sustainability.
Upscale Resale (Cambria) — A fashion-lover’s paradise offering high-end clothing and accessories with a secondhand twist—think designer finds without environmental guilt (bonus: statement school outfits)

Supporting these shops isn’t just about shopping local—it’s about making choices that teach our kids what good living really means. Stylish, purposeful—and with a whole lot of SLO soul.
