Description:

Greenshops was created by two friends who were looking for a service oriented website offering eco- friendly products for their families. "We wanted to create a place with full disclosure of the products, where you can shop freely and easily online, while having confidence in the quality of your purchases" said business owners Sasha & Jennifer. This is where the journey of Greenshops began, and the commitment to putting a business that focuses on the individual, as well as the environment. Gift Registry.

Above & Beyond:

Greenshops is passionately committed to providing "a one stop shop" for all your eco-friendly needs. Sasha & Jennifer, and a group of volunteers, have personally tested and approved each product to ensure the customer receives the highest quality eco-products on the market today. Each manufacturer answers a 5 page Supply Chain Questionnaire informing us of their commitment to their product and the environment. In today's world, people are highly educated about the products they are purchasing and we want to assist in that awareness and offer as much information as possible. With that in mind, Greenshops has listed the environmental benefits of each product to ensure that you are fully informed of your purchase. We are constantly trying to improve our catalog and service, and welcome any and all feedback to help us improve our business. It is our goal to get your confidence and support to further our cause. how do we live green? At Greenshops, not only do we sell eco-friendly products from eco-friendly manufacturers, we try to live and breathe green in our daily operations and personal lives. First, our goal is operating a completely sustainable business by reducing our carbon footprint as much as possible. After all these efforts, we purchase carbon offsets for our homes, cars and business, giving us a carbon footprint of zero. We are constantly looking for ways to reduce waste, conserve energy, and minimize the amount of resources we use. This is a continuous process of constantly looking at what we are doing and how we can improve. We offer warning labels on our shipping boxes that they are not pretty. We reuse all of our packaging materials as many times as possible. We are proud to say that we have never purchased one box since opening our doors in 2007. Our gift wrapping materials and bags are made from 100% recycled content. We do not include packing slips or invoices in our boxes; we operate almost completely paperless. If we do offer registry cards or gift messages they are printed on our Elephant Pooh paper... yes Elephant pooh paper!
Did You Know:

Did you know that recycling an aluminum can uses only 5% of the energy required to make a new one? Recycling glass uses 50% of the energy. Every ton of paper recycled saves 60% of the energy, 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 380 gallons of oil, 587 pounds of air pollution, 3.06 cubic yards of landfill space and 4,077 kilowatt hours of energy. If every household in the U.S. replaced just one package of virgin fiber napkins with 100 recycled ones, we could save 1 million trees.
