In honor of Earth Day, Littleton Food Co-op’s Green Team is announcing their new shelf tags – look for them in the aisles to signify tried and true products loved by members of our Green Team. Will you find a new favorite natural deodorant packaged in *gasp* not plastic? Maybe! How about some eco-conscious laundry detergent you don’t have to work so hard to lug up some stairs? Take a peek in aisle 5 and your dreams just might come true. Did you know we have plant-based bacon that some of our vegan employees love?! Consider this a permission slip to go on a fun and earth-friendly scavenger hunt around the Co-op! What sustainable featured products will you find?
With whatever you discover, remember you’re not alone in your determination to choose more eco-conscious items for purchase! The Co-op is on a continuous and evolving mission to consider challenges of climate, energy, and ecology as decisions are made throughout the store. Happy Earth Day from the Littleton Food Co-op, and may your findings be both fun and sustainable. Look for these shelf tags throughout the store for Green Team’s picks all year ‘round!
