The EcoShopper is a special personal shopping and consulting service for people who want to buy eco-friendly, sustainably-produced items, but don’t have the time or inclination to do the research and shopping. The
service officially began November 2005, but my experience is extensive.
This is a unique service--and I believe its time has come. There is a dizzying array of websites and retailers offering great eco-products these days, but no one offering to navigate and sort through them for you to help you find just what you want, quickly and efficiently. So click around and read more about me, my vision/mission--and how my skills, experience and joy in eco-shopping can work for you, your family, and our precious planet all at once. Send me an email if you have questions or want to give it a try.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. ~Native American Proverb
I feel more confident than ever that the power to save the planet rests with the individual consumer. ~Denis Hayes
Anything else you're interested in is not going to happen
if you can't breathe the air and drink the water. Don't sit this one out.
~Carl Sagan
What is the use of a House if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on? ~Henry David Thoreau
If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we are headed. ~Chinese Proverb |
FREE! Currently, a full comprehensive resource list of great eco-shopping sites is maintained over at Bodyfueling.com, the website I maintain as a health author and activist. You may find that free resource useful, too--year round! Also see my collection of Resources on this site. And see the separate list of Co-Op America Business Network businesses. |

for Your
service provides exactly what I want, at an affordable price. In fact,
your service fee more then paid for itself by finding products that were
40%-60% off! It was the most pleasant shopping experience of my
life. I’m sending another request order for more! This service
is ideal for a person like me who has strong values about the quality
and origins of consumer products, but little time, skill, or tolerance
for shopping. Avoiding hours of frustration is so worth the reasonable
fee to have it all wrapped up for me. For the past two years, I’ve
taken advantage of the “Christmas package”... I didn’t
have to go to the detested mall or “BIG BOX MART” one time.
Everyone on my list got really cool, distinctive gifts--and I felt great
about where they came from. No traffic, no checkout lines, and no
grumpy Christmas shoppers to deal with--it makes the whole season so much
more enjoyable. I couldn't
be more delighted with your service! I've avoided buying new shoes
for a year -- and now, in just two days, you found me 22 links! I'm
so happy to have fashionable, comfortable vegan shoes to choose from.
I never would have been able to track down so many options on my own.
I am thrilled to be able to support progressive merchants.
A "Basic" subscription to The Eco-Shopper service makes a terrific gift! It's a great no-packaging, no-waste present, and a wonderful way to support eco-products and services. You'll get a nice certificate for your recipient-and they'll get to sit back while the (eco) shopping gets done for them! Americans
generate 25 percent more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s
than at any other time of year. That’s five million extra tons of
garbage!
Wrapping paper, ribbon and packing materials account for a huge heap of
it. I approve these waste-trimming pointers: Defenders

ECO-SHOPPER
MISSION STATEMENT My vision is that long-term, this will result in significantly improved health for people and the earth, and significantly reduced waste, toxicity, cruelty, and environmental damage. I envision a culture of individuals and businesses who can have what they need and love what they have--with minimal impact and without harm. My desire to point people toward lower-impact choices arises from a loving, enduring respect and reverence for this planet, people, and all other beings. I dream that Americans can be happy living lightly, simply and peacefully--something that truly would change the world. I want people to know they can do this, without great sacrifice, without compromising quality and enjoyment. And it matters. |

What
can I help you find? Eco-industries are booming and there is SO much available. That’s great news, but it can also be confusing and overwhelming. It can be discouraging if you don’t know where to look. I do. It can be tiring if you don’t enjoy shopping, researching, and comparing. I do. It can be deceiving if you aren’t facile at reading the fine print about ingredients and sources. I am. There is a terrific “kindler, gentler” version of most anything you might want. And I know how to find it. CONTACT The EcoShopper! |
