Unnecessary Extras offers eco-friendly solutions for modern living

The Fulton County Chamber of Commerce shares the following business news from the latest edition of its bi-weekly newsletter, the Chamber Insider.

Unnecessary Extras, a locally-owned boutique in Rochester, is proud to announce its selection of eco-friendly products aimed at making sustainable living easier and more accessible. Featured items include reusable "paper" towels, cloth diapers, cloth menstrual pads and cloth nursing pads, providing practical and environmentally conscious alternatives to disposables.

In a time when Americans generate more than 20 billion disposable diapers, 50 billion tampons and pads, 20 billion paper towels and countless other single-use items annually, Unnecessary Extras is stepping up to help reduce waste and promote greener choices. Each product is designed with durability, comfort and affordability in mind, allowing customers to save money while protecting the planet.

Why Cloth?

• Better for the Environment: Cloth options significantly reduce landfill waste and lower environmental pollution.
• Cost-Effective: Reusable products save families hundreds of dollars annually compared to disposables.
• Health-Conscious: Made with gentle, safe materials, these products are ideal for sensitive skin and minimize exposure to harsh chemicals.

Owner Lisa Fellers shares: “At Unnecessary Extras, we believe small changes lead to big impacts. Our goal is to offer high-quality, sustainable options that empower families to make better choices for their wallets, health and the environment.”

In addition to eco-friendly essentials, Unnecessary Extras offers a unique selection of handcrafted goods, antiques, Rowe Casa Organics, clothing and art supplies. The shop is committed to combining convenience with sustainability, catering to the diverse needs of its customers.
