We get it. If we don’t start making changes today, we’ll be mucking up the world for tomorrow. We just wish the truth wasn’t so, well, inconvenient.
Coming to the rescue of our time-crunched selves: REAP (Respect for the Earth and All People), a not-for-profit association of Calgary businesses that either manufacture or sell sustainable products and services.
We were happy to see the group included our much-loved SwizzleSticks SalonSpa, purveyors of the eco-friendly Aveda line, as well as the organic, ethically sourced Verde Tea that we first discovered (and loved) at a store opening last year. We can’t wait to make our house a green environment with the help of Conscious Home. And we’ll be sure to stock the shelves with natural products from Effective Health Solutions and Prema Sai Wholistic Living. (After all, we’ve got to consider our inner health as much as the outer environment.)
With info on earth-friendly events, a host of articles on environmental and social issues and a goal to expand the roster of participating businesses, we’ll be checking back often.
Who would have thought it could be this easy being green?
