PRINCIPLES OF GREEN LIVING:
Ecological Footprint: Reduce your personal demand on nature. Choosing sustainable and lower impact goods will reduce your personal consumption of natural resources and help you do your part in returning our society to balance with Earth's resource capacity.
Handmade & Fair Trade: Respect for communities around the world. Buying certified fair trade goods ensures an honest and open relationship between producers and consumers across the globe by giving the dignity of fair wages and safe working conditions to workers and high quality, sustainably produced goods to consumers.
Natural materials: Healthy for everyone and easy on the Earth. Growing organic cotton, hemp, flax, or sustainable lumber without chemical fertilizers or pesticides keeps our soils, air, and water clean and our farmers, workers, and children healthy.
Resource conservation: Leaves enough for everyone. By simply choosing energy-saving light bulbs and low-flow water filters, you can significantly reduce your resource consumption and therefore your individual environmental impact.
Recycled goods: Reusing respects our resources. Buying recycled products conserves our raw materials, saves energy, generates less waste and pollution, and ultimately protects our ecosystems.
