When it comes to purchasing eco-friendly items for your home, office, friends and family, perusing the aisles in local stores can be time consuming and confusing. One minute you think you have decided on the perfect green product then you notice other ones with similar qualities. Which one is better for the environment? Instead of making guesses, which can potentially be wrong, you can make your life easier and shop online at one of the new eco-friendly online shopping stores. EBay, Inc. has recently launched a new online auction and shopping website that only sells goods that have been produced without harming the environment. Also workingwonders, llc has created a one-stop source for all of your green needs.
EBay’s World of Good offers a variety of items like bracelets, bowls and tableware, pottery and glass, purses, baskets, coffee and tea, earrings and art. The products are unique and eclectic pieces that would make a statement in your home or office. In order to ensure that the products are environmentally friendly, the store has used Trustology™ and goodprint™ to show the positive impact of your purchase. There are four symbols that show whether your purchase will have a people positive impact, an eco positive impact, an animal friendly impact or if it supports a cause. Trust providers such as Rainforest Alliance, Co-op America, TransFair USA and Aid to Artisans inspect and check out sellers and their items to guarantee that they have been ethically-sourced.
For more modern designs with clean lines, shop workingwonders. They stock stylish furniture and accessories that are functional for your needs and healthier for the environment. Their online green guide has icons, which stand for the following eight goals for greening: reduces waste, conserves natural resources, improves air quality, saves energy and/or water, better production practices, better shipping practices, better community relations and manufacturing location.
Green consumers have the ability to make worry free purchases without even leaving home. These green online shopping centers have revolutionized the meaning of being green, and as a consumer you can walk away knowing whether your purchase helped people, animals or the environment.
