Useful Links
This page provides information on local organic markets and on-line eco stores. Some of the products sold by these eco-stores are listed separately on other pages but can be purchased on-line from these suppliers. On-line shopping for green goods can make life a lot easier especially when these products are not readily available in local shops. Some of these sites supply products made overseas, but all of them supply products made in South Africa. For me it makes good environmental sense to buy locally made green goods as far as possible, especially non-durable goods like food, household cleaning products and personal care products.
