Sapadilla, a Vancouver-based company, is rocking the Western Canadian market with their green cleaning products, featuring two essential-oil scents, Rosemary + Peppermint and Grapefruit + Bergamot (my absolute fave — it makes me want to wash dishes and that’s saying something!).

The products boast impressive green credentials since they’re non-toxic, biodegradable and free of the following common chemicals:

• synthetic fragrance or dyes
• petroleum-based solvents
• phosphates
• ethylene Glycol Ethers
• chlorine
• ammonia
• EDTA
• formaldehyde
• parabens

Plus, 1% of all revenues from the products is being donated to 1% For The Planet (www.onepercentfortheplanet.com), which is a network of environmental organizations around the world.

And soon, Sapadilla hopes to spread out across the rest of Canada (keep your fingers crossed!).

Prices: $6 (dish soap), $7 (countertop cleanser), $9 (all-purpose cleaner)

green with glamour online shopping

greenwithglamourlogo green with glamour online shoppingLooking to find something green, but don’t know where to go? Try www.greenwithglamour.com, a super-stylish U.S.-based online shopping site that’s just fabulous for eco-conscious shoppers.

Emily  Deschanel, star of Bones (one of my fave TV shows, as my Facebook friends would know!), is a big fan of the site and says, “My No. 1 place to buy gifts is Green with Glamour….It`s wonderful to know that you can be eco-friendly, ethically sound, and not have to scrimp on style….It makes shopping so easy! From eco fashion to beautiful furniture, GWG has everything I could possibly want (or need).”

Green with Glamour’s collection of goodies is carefully curated by founders Kathleen Rowan and Deana Bracken, whose ever-growing eco-mindfulness lead the two to create the website in the first place.

The company is also a member of 1% for the Planet, an alliance of businesses committed to leveraging their resources to create a healthier planet. Members of the alliance (OK, does that sound Star Trekky, or what?) donate at least 1% of their annual sales to environmental organizations worldwide.
