Eco Shopping:

There are now a plethora of websites dedicated to eco-shopping and we have listed a few good examples. Inevitably some businesses will simply jump on the bandwagon, so there are some organisations that set standards to be met when labelling products.
 
The Soil Association are the body responsible for setting the standard for organic food , while the Fair Trade Foundation sets the UK standard for fairtrade -approved products bear their logos as illustrated below:
 
  • Bishopston Trading -Bristol based outlet importing goods made with fairtrade organic cotton from the partner factory in the district of Kuppam in Southern India.
  • Co-operative Bank -the high street bank with a strong ethical and moral agenda.
  • Ecobaby -natural and organic baby products. They even do biodegradable disposable nappies.
  • Ecohip -natural and organic products -bodycare, babies and children, eco gadgets.
  • ECOutlet -shop for environmental goods online -all sorts of excellent ideas for your home and garden.
  • Ecostreet -a web directory and blog for eco friendly and sustainable living.
  • Ethical Junction -provides information on positively screened companies and organisations and links you through to ethical and sustainable products and services provided by their members.
  • Ethical Superstore -fair trade, organic, and eco-friendly shopping -they sell anything from organic grocery to energy efficient gadgets.
  • Green and Easy -eco products for the home and garden.
  • Natural Collection -online eco department store formed in 1999 with a vision to create a distribution platform to support sustainable innovation and ideas.
