Our Story

In 1999, I envisioned a website that offered everyday eco-friendly items, ensuring consumers could trust these choices as the "least-worst" in terms of impact on people and the planet. By the time the opportunity to pursue my dream arrived, I was surprised this initiative hadn’t already been realized. It's astonishing how much time and effort goes into researching everyday products like sneakers, trash cans, brooms, and toothpaste. Navigating these choices to ensure minimal harm to the environment, and people, can be overwhelming. The more research I did into child and forced labor used in many of our every day products, the more I realized that this dream needs to be realized sooner rather than later to protect our most vulnerable populations, as well as our planet.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bridge the gap between daily consumer actions and the broader goal of protecting our planet while promoting social equity. Every purchase made on our platform is a step towards a more connected and sustainable world. When sustainable sourcing is not possible, such as with electronics and propane stoves, we prioritize suppliers from women or minority-owned businesses that are committed to equitable employment practices.
Furthermore, we emphasize minimizing packaging and reducing our carbon footprint. We accomplish this by using an algorithm and a carbon calculator to ensure that products located closest to the consumer are shown first, as well as displaying the carbon footprint of each choice. This allows consumers the opportunity to lower their carbon footprint even more by selecting items that require the least amount of shipping.
By creating a hybrid cooperative, where consumers, vendors and employees own the company, we are empowering our community to not only make the best choice when it comes to daily consumer products, but to benefit the manufacturers, the planet and ourselves as well! Welcome to the community; we value you and your commitment to more sustainable practices!
I enlisted the help of trusted family and friends - as founders - to help me make this dream a reality.
