what we do
Check out what we do to offer an environmentally and ethically sound boutique.
organic or sustainable new products - all of our products made of new or virgin materials are produced without the use of insecticides or pesticides.
supporting a cause - we participate in the "1% for the Planet" alliance by donating 1% of our sales to environmental organizations worldwide. Bohmo is also a member of the Sustainable Style Foundation (SSF), an international, member-supported nonprofit organization created to provide information, resources and innovative programs that promote sustainable living and sustainable design.
animal-free - livestock cultivation contributes to both global warming and water pollution. We do not carry products made from animals or animal by-products. (source: Tufts Climate Initiative)
fair trade - we only sell products from companies that utilize humane practices such as sweatshop-free and fair trade labor.
non-toxic dyes - none of our clothing uses toxic dyes, and our Bohmo Organics line uses vegetable based inks for all graphic prints.
reduce - we help reduce air pollution by participating in FPL's Sunshine Energy Program. By contributing to the use of solar power facilities, each year we reduce the carbon equivelent of a car driving 11,000 miles (over 9,000 pounds of C02 emissions).
reuse - we offer reused products in our home section including reused desks, lockers, credenzas and the like from Twenty Gauge. Also, we offer reupholstered vintage chairs from Lotus Design. All of these products are refinished to look just like brand new.
recycle - we currently ship products using recycled packaging. We are also researching goods that are made partially or entirely from recycled products.
