This shop specializes in eco-friendly building supplies, cleaning products, and other day-to-day goods, essentially a “green alternative to anything in the home,” says owner Maria Onesto Moran. Find non-toxic cleaners like Biokleen all-purpose cleaner ($6.65), Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap ($4.99), and biodegradable laundry detergent from Charlie’s Soap ($22); these are not only environmentally friendly but hypo-allergenic. Also find baby products like chlorine-free diapers, hemp wipes ($7.50 for a six-pack), and organic cotton blankets ($69), as well as pet supplies and disposable cutlery made from sugar cane ($3.99 for 50 forks), an alternative to plastic. The back of the store is dedicated to building supplies like EcoTimber flooring; Marmoleum, linoleum made from linseed with jute backing; modular carpeting tiles; mosaic tiles made from recycled glass; and paint from AFM Safecoat (starts at $35.90 for a gallon) that is non-toxic and contains no volatile organic compounds.
