Companies we like

We have a few favorite companies who have good products and green initiatives.

Aveda - Aveda has great skin care products made with natural ingredients and they use 100% wind power to make their products.

Seventh Generation - If you have to use disposable diapers, this is one of the companies to look for. Their diapers are chlorine free and they also have many other household products. They help their employees reduce their carbon footprint and plan to obtain LEED gold certification.

Whole Foods - This grocery store chain is the largest seller of organic food in the country. They also have recycle and compost programs at their stores and don't carry any genetically modified foods.

Niman Ranch - One of the largest problems facing our planet is the production of meat for consumption. Niman Ranch knows that people want meat, but they go about it a different way. Their cattle are never given antibiotics or hormones, fed all organic feed, and are allowed to graze in a pasture all day.

Patagonia - also a wind-powered company, Patagonia finds ways to recycle and reuse when making their clothing. They have a recycled-soda-bottle fleece and print their catalogs on 40% recycled paper.

Local produce delivery companies - There are tons of them out there. Local companies that purchase local, organic produce and bring it to your door. This is not only convenient, but saves carbon emissions. They're delivering to everyone at once as opposed to each consumer getting in their car and going to the store.

Remember to support local businesses when you can. It helps your local economy and the planet.
