Today we get to chat with Leah Watkins, the visionary behind FØLK Refillery & Supply, a sanctuary for zero-waste shopping in Kingston’s historic Stockade District. Driven by a love for the planet and her community, Leah has transformed her passion into a hub for sustainable, local, and artisanal goods. Her commitment to eco-friendly living extends beyond the store, as she leads by example, encouraging others to embrace a more mindful and waste-free lifestyle.
Our conversation begins with some background on what inspired Leah to a zero-waste lifestyle and the opening of her shop and community event space FØLK. She walks us through her own journey and some of the challenges she’s overcome in striving towards zero-waste, educating us along the way about closed loop and sustainable business practices. Our conversation touches on mindful consumption, sustainable fashion and our own self care as we navigate the move to a simpler lifestyle. She’s focused on building community at FØLK and will continue to provide access to local and sustainable products as well as host makers and practitioners aligned with her values.
