While retailers are adding more eco-friendly products to their offerings, it can take a bit of work to find those green options among all of the other products on a store's web site. I know I've had up to a dozen tabs open, just looking for something as simple as organic cotton baby sheets. Comparing retailers, prices, and available styles can be a bit of a chore, but definitely worth it.
What if you can take some of the work out of buying green?
That's the ultimate goal for Kristen Banker, founder of ModernEcoHomes.com, which is a web portal for green shopping. At Modern Eco Homes, you can search for clothing, home goods, and pet supplies, and be assured that every item on the site is an eco-friendly option. Of course, some items are greener than others, but, as Banker states on the site, "each product we've selected for Modern Eco Homes offers some element of greenness."
A unique element of the Modern Eco Homes site is the green concierge service. Say you're looking for a particular item, but nothing you've seen on the site is quite it. You can send an email to the green concierge service, and Banker and her team will find what you're looking for (if it exists, that is.)
If you're looking for an easy way to shop green, there's nothing more convenient than doing it at home, in your pajamas, and having someone else do all of that searching for you. Modern Eco Homes is definitely worth a look.
