We like to share with you things that we find that are environmentally worthwhile. Sometimes they are things. And sometimes, they are places, people, stores or websites or blogs. In this case, it's one of our favorite green online stores. Take the time to check out Ecostore USA.
I first learned about Ecostore USA back in July. Lyne, who is VP of Operations for Ecostore USA, contacted me after she saw our segment on Fox 2 News. She felt there was a definite synergy between Ecostore USA and Ecosize ME. And, I'm so glad that she reached out to us.
I placed an order for some of their No Nasty Chemicals products. It was the least I could do reciprocate Lyne's effort in contacting Ecosize Me. It was also a good opportunity to follow through on my 
Earth Day Resolutions. My initial order with Ecostore USA consisted of the Auto Dish Powder ($12), the Lemon Rinse Aid ($5.50) and the Laundry Liquid ($11). The quickest, best review I can give all three products is this: If I didn't know that I was using "green" products, I would have never known the difference! That for me is a great thing! Once I find a product that works and that I like, it's very dificult for me to make a change. I am always skeptical that the "other" products will not be able to measure up to my favorites.
The environmental benefits are added bonuses to the effectiveness of the Ecostore USA products. I don't worry about the environmental problems I'm contributing to or question the safety of my family's health when I use these products. I know they are safe for my family and the environment.
What I quickly discovered and what truly moved me was the sense of commitment to our environment and personal health that I found on the site. Ecostore USA is about more than selling products. Yes, it is a business and they sell products. Once you peruse their site, you will see what I mean. I am particularly partial to sites that give INFORMATION. Ecosize ME is all about environmental education and when another site or blog shares that same value, I am immediately attracted to them, in an environmental kind of way.
Ecostore USA keeps the consumer (you, me, us) informed. They tell you what chemicals they avoid and WHY! They tell you all about themselves and how they came to be. See for yourself. Take the time to browse their site. But be sure to read the What is Green tab as well.
If you feel so inclined (and I hope you will), place an order for their products. Throughout the month of September, you can take advantage of their BOGO sale online. Or you can seek out some of their products now available at your local Meijer store. You can find Laundry Liquid, Liquid Dish, Oxygen Whitener, Lemon Cream Cleanser, Citrus All Purpose Spray and Baby Care Products.
