ECO LIVING LONDONIf you haven’t yet discovered the ecoLiving London website, check it out and see what you think!

It’s still pretty new, so they’re still building the directory of London resources that can help you live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. If you know of a business, co-op, or organization that would qualify, please let them know about it.

You’ll find their list of eligibility criteria in the FAQ section. Among other things, it includes offering a product or service that is any of the following:

  • certified organic, fair trade, recycled, or energy star rated
  • a non-toxic alternative to conventional choices/options
  • putting local suppliers first

Sound familiar? That’s why you’ll find The London Co-op Store listed in the ecoLiving London directory — we’re in the non-profit category.

Happy Earth Day!

The first Earth Day was in 1970 — so it shares a birthday with The London Co-op Store! We both turn 40 this year. Hurray for both of us!

We also share the values of environmental responsibility. It’s an enormous part of what makes The London Co-op Store what it is; for instance, a place to buy eco-friendly cleaning products — which we carried way before the supermarkets jumped on the Green bandwagon!

And, of course, there is always the environmentally friendly aspect of pesticide-free, organically grown fruits and vegetables, which we carry both for the sake of our human health and for the sake of the planet.

Come and visit us during store hours and see for yourself why it’s always Earth Day at The London Co-op Store!
